Real Madrid to align with Benfica Ukrainians Anatoly Trubina and Georgiy Sudakov with new personnel problems. As Marca reports, 20-year-old center back Dean Huysen, without taking part in the remaining trained team, will not be able to enter the match.

Huysen already missed the recent La Liga match against Osasuna, and now the situation is repeating itself. The coaching staff, in favor of Alvaro Arbeloa, decided not to include the defender until the application due to the ongoing update after the injury.

Huysen's availability intersperses the variability in the defense center, with problems without it: injuries to Eder Militao, Jude Bellingham and Rodrigo. The Madrid team will have a chance to compare their defensive combinations ahead of the important European Cup game.

Huysen joined Real Madrid in early 2025 for 62.5 million euros from Bournemouth. He played 27 matches this season, scoring one goal and giving two assists. The football player's contract is valid until 30 June 2030.

The Champions League match between Real Madrid and Benfica will take place on Wednesday, 25 February. The first match against Lisbon ended with a minimal defeat of Real Madrid 1:0.
