The young defender of Real Madrid, Den Hoissen, was not at his full physical capacity during the recent encounter against Benfica, which ended with a 2-1 victory on Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. This match was the second leg of the playoff round determining entry into the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
In a cautious approach, the technical staff of the royal team deliberately refrained from risking the fitness of the Spanish international, prioritizing the prevention of any aggravation to his physical condition.
Injury Concerns and Upcoming Challenges
According to the Spanish newspaper “AS”, published on Thursday, the reason for Hoissen‘s absence on the pitch during the match against Benfica was a muscle strain affecting his right leg. Despite this setback, he is anticipated to be given the opportunity to return to action in the forthcoming La Liga fixture against Getafe, scheduled for Monday.
Nevertheless, the situation remains under constant scrutiny and is subject to daily evaluations conducted by Real Madrid‘s medical team, ensuring his recovery progresses adequately.
Optimistically, it is projected that Hoissen will regain full fitness and be available for selection ahead of the first leg in the Champions League Round of 16.
