Hi community!
The Dane will not be in the Copa del Rey against Betis, but will return to the squad this weekend to face Getafe in LaLiga.
Barça's infirmary replacement. Although the Blaugrana club has announced that Iñigo Martínez has suffered a tear in the hamstring of his right leg that will keep him out for a month, Hansi Flick has also announced that Andreas Christensen will be given the all-clear for the next league match. Centre-back for centre-back.
The German coach has not yet announced his squad for Wednesday's match against Betis (9pm), corresponding to the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. However, he has announced that Andreas Christensen will not be on the squad. "He will be back on Saturday," said the Barça coach in a press conference. The Danish defender's return could therefore take place this weekend at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez against Getafe.
There are many moves in the defensive line in the coming weeks. Iñigo Martínez will miss around ten games and will leave Pau Cubarsí without a partner in defence. Right now, two replacements could accompany the player from Estanyol: Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia. Two footballers with a future that seems far away from the Catalan capital in the short term, although the two will not be able to leave in this winter transfer market.
While the Uruguayan is already thinking of Juventus as his next destination, the player from Martorell remembers better times at Montilivi as a starter. However, the injury to Iñigo Martínez, even if it is only for a month, makes it difficult for both players to leave in the current transfer window.
Now, Hansi Flick will soon receive good news in the form of a medical discharge: that of Andreas Christensen. The Danish defender is slowly seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Let us remember that the Barça number 15 was only able to wear the shorts during the first game of the season, against Valencia at Mestalla (0-1) and he did so for 26 minutes. Later, he was diagnosed with tendinopathy in the left Achilles, which will have kept him out for five months.
In Denmark they revealed that as part of the recovery process, Christensen had undergone a small surgical treatment that should help him get over the discomfort. The player himself explained in an interview with 'Barça One' that he felt he was "on the right path to return to 100 percent."
His return will therefore be welcomed as a breath of fresh air for a team that, at the moment, still does not know which central defenders it will be able to count on for the second part of the season. It will also be interesting to see how the Dane adapts to Flick's defensive line, trying to cause opponents to fall into offside traps.
See You soon!
