Real Madrid star ruled out of next fixture through suspension

La Liga giants Real Madrid have on Monday been dealt a fresh blow on the personnel front.

This comes owing to developments in the club’s meeting with Getafe.

Real Madrid are of course currently locked in action on the domestic front, in a Spanish top-flight clash with capital rivals Getafe.

As things stand at the Santiago Bernabéu, the evening’s hosts find themselves in an alarming situation, trailing by a goal to nil.

Should this remain the case through the full-time whistle, Álvaro Arbeloa’s troops will see their La Liga title hopes dealt a potentially fatal blow.

And yet, as alluded to above, the current scoreline is far from the only concern for Real Madrid on Tuesday.

In addition, Dean Huijsen has picked up a suspension.

Introduced off the bench during the 2nd-half against Getafe, defender Huijsen was soon shown a yellow card for a foul.

His 5th of the La Liga season, the Spanish international will in turn be banned for Real Madrid’s meeting with Celta Vigo on Friday.
