Huijsen started twice for Spain in September, playing a key role in victories against Bulgaria and Turkey. However, in October he suffered another injury, missing games versus Georgia and Bulgaria as well as several matches for Real Madrid.

This season, Huijsen has made 13 appearances for the Madrid side after joining from Bournemouth for £50 million during the summer transfer window.
