Dean Huijsen returns to Real Madrid's squad for the trip to Valencia, marking the only change from the group that faced Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabeu. The young defender is set to strengthen Xabi Alonso's central defence after serving his one-match ban.

The Spanish international missed the previous league game against Espanyol following his red card in the 2-1 defeat of Real Sociedad on September 13th.

Now fully available, Huijsen is expected to slot straight back into the starting XI, although it remains to be seen whether he will partner Militao or if Alonso opts for rotation in the backline.

Real Madrid head to Levante with a largely unchanged squad, aiming to maintain their strong start to the season.

Goalkeepers: Courtois, Lunin and Sergio Mestre
