Bad news for the Barcelona defense. The omens were confirmed and the Danish central defender Andreas Christensen suffers a soleus injury in his left leg, as the medical tests carried out this Saturday morning have shown. The period that will be in the dry dock is not determined within the statement from the Barcelona club, but, eleven days after the dispute of the classic second leg of the Cup semifinals, what is clear is that it will not arrive in time to face Madrid
Christensen was injured 18 minutes into the match between Denmark and Finland that was played last Thursday and that was valid for qualifying for the Eurocup. In principle, it is expected that he will be out for around three weeks, with which he will not only miss the game against the Whites, but also others in the league championship. Christensen was not in the first leg either, since the day before he had suffered a blow in training that prevented him from being at his best. On that occasion, Marcos Alonso took his place in the defense axis
Right now another of the reasons for concern for Xavi Hernández is the state of Frenkie de Jong. The Dutch midfielder has a hamstring injury that has already prevented him from attending his team’s call and right now he is a serious doubt for a classic that the Uruguayan Araújo hopes to play. The Uruguayan did not go with his team due to some discomfort in the adductor of the left leg. Pedri and Dembélé continue with their recovery period and it is not yet known when they may be available.
