Marca: Huizen did not train with the team today due to knee discomfort and may miss the game against Olympiacos

According to "Marca" report, Real Madrid defender Huizen may miss the Champions League game against Olympiacos.

After the game against Elche, Huizen felt discomfort in his knee and was unable to train with the team today. He is waiting for further examination to determine the specific circumstances of the injury. At the same time, Courtois was unable to travel with the team to Athens due to gastroenteritis.

If Huizen is ultimately unable to play, this will be Alonso's second unexpected player absence in tomorrow's Champions League game. Huizen's absence is particularly worrying given the team's current shortage of personnel at centre-back. In addition to Huizen, Militao and Alaba are also plagued by injuries. Rudiger has just recovered from two months of injury and is not yet fully ready to play. This leaves Alonso with only one healthy centre-back in Raul Asensio.

Even if Rudiger can make the squad, if Huizen is ultimately absent, Alonso will have to improvise a partner for Raul Asensio. Joan Armene and Carreras are potential options. Although Mendy has also tried this position in training, since he has not played an official game for a long time, it is not realistic to start him in such a high-intensity game.
