Dean Huijsen returns for Real Madrid against Roma after suspension
Summary

Real Madrid is set to face Roma in the Champions League, with Dean Huijsen returning to the starting lineup after serving a suspension. His inclusion comes at a critical time as Madrid looks to secure points before upcoming matches against Sevilla and Barcelona. Although Antonio Rudiger filled in well during Huijsen's absence, the young center-back's return enhances Madrid's defensive options against a challenging Roma side. Manager Jose Mourinho aims to improve the team's defensive structure in anticipation of future fixtures, including El Clasico later this month.
