Real Madrid defender, Dean Huijsen has withdrawn from Spain national team squad preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Georgia and Bulgaria.

Fabrizio Romano writing on his official X handle informed that the Real Madrid defender will miss both Spain matches during this international window. He wrote:

Dean Huijsen suffers muscle fatigue and can’t be available to play for Spain in the next two games.

Real Madrid staff will assess the centre back with injury seen as not long/serious one — could be a matter of 1/2 weeks waiting for tests.

The former Bournemouth defender has already left the Spain camp and immediately replaced by former Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte. The 31-year-old returned to Athletic Bilbao this summer following an 18-month stint with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr.
