Calvary continues for Andreas Christensen. Touched at the Achille heel in the first match of the FC Barcelona season against Valence, the 28-year-old Danish defender returned to the Catalan group last week against Benfica (4-5 victory) in the Champions League, Without playing, however.

Three weeks of unavailability

While his return to the field in competition was imminent, the former Chelsea must again go through the infirmary box. Barça announced this Tuesday via a medical press release published on its social networks that its versatile defender was affected in the calf, more precisely in the solitary muscle.

Christensen will therefore miss the reception of the Atalanta this Wednesday evening in the Champions League as well as the next three weeks of competition, at least.
