Barcelona defender returns to contention after long injury spell | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have seen their injury problems increase significantly in the last few weeks, and currently, they have two of their most important players, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, both out due to injuries.

Meanwhile, some long-term absences have also returned to action. For instance, Gavi, who spent a significant part of the season on the sidelines, is now playing regularly.

Similarly, Mundo Deportivo reports that the defender Andreas Christensen is now also fully recovered, and would be available to Hansi Flick as Barcelona had not used his salary space to register another player this season.

The Catalans brought in Joao Cancelo in the winter transfer window, but the Dane’s salary space was not used to register him.

As things stand, Andreas Christensen is not a starter for Hansi Flick, and has played only a total of 515 minutes this season.

He is also in the last year of his contract, and the Catalans have offered him a new contract with significantly reduced wages, and it remains to be seen whether he would accept this offer or play for another side next season.
