"Spain will be without defender Dean Huijsen for Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Turkiye. Luis de la Fuente's team, who are also without talisman Lamine Yamal, made light work of Georgia on Saturday, winning 4-0. That victory ensured La Roja have now set a new national record for consecutive competitive matches without defeat (30 games). It also means they require just a point against Turkiye to qualify as Group E winners, albeit their superior goal difference means qualification is all but assured anyway."
"However, Real Madrid centre-back Huijsen will not be part of the squad that faces Turkiye. The 20-year-old has been suffering from muscular discomfort that saw him miss the Georgia match, and Spain have now sent him back to Madrid. Sunday's statement from the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) stated that "as usual", it was "priotising the health and well-being of the player at all times." The furore between Spain and Barcelona over the handling of Yamal has been a subplot throughout La Roja's World Cup"

Huijsen missed the Georgia match and has been sent back to Madrid. Spain beat Georgia 4-0 on Saturday, setting a new national record of 30 consecutive competitive matches without defeat. Spain also remain without talisman Lamine Yamal. The team requires one point against Turkiye to secure top spot in Group E, and superior goal difference makes qualification virtually assured. The Royal Spanish Football Federation said it prioritises the player's health and well-being. A furore between Spain and Barcelona over Yamal's handling has been a subplot.
