Real Madrid's Dean Huijsen Suspended After Derby Red Card
Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen has been suspended for one match following a red card received during the Madrid derby against Atlético Madrid on September 20, 2026. The Spanish football disciplinary committee confirmed the suspension on September 23, 2026, after reviewing the incident from the seventh matchday of La Liga.
Huijsen was sent off in the 50th minute for a foul on Atlético forward Giuliano Simeone, which initially resulted in a yellow card but was upgraded to a red after a VAR review. The penalty awarded was converted by Alejandro Grimaldo, contributing to Atlético's 2-1 victory.
Huijsen's absence will be felt in Real Madrid's next league match against Villarreal on October 10, 2026, at the Santiago Bernabéu. His suspension poses a selection challenge for coach José Mourinho, as Huijsen has been a key player in the team's defense this season, ranking among the top players for passing and interceptions.
