Those behind the scenes at La Liga giants Real Madrid have been made aware of the extent of the ban awaiting summer signing Dean Huijsen at the Club World Cup.
And the news will no doubt mark a source of relief for all of a Blancos persuasion.
Real of course marked their return to action this past weekend, locking horns with German heavyweights Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup.
When all was said and done, Xabi Alonso’s troops emerged on the right side of a 3-2 result, to book a final-four meeting with Paris Saint-Germain.
The aforementioned Dean Huijsen, for his part, featured from the off at the MetLife Stadium.
Deep into injury-time, however, the summer arrival at Real Madrid was shown a straight red card for a last-man challenge.
As much means an automatic one-match suspension, with confirmation having today arrived that Huijsen is not facing up to any further punishment.
As per a report from COPE:
‘Dean Huijsen has received a one-match ban, so if the Whites manage to eliminate Paris Saint-Germain, Xabi Alonso will be able to count on one of his defensive references in the hypothetical final.’
