Barcelona, Andreas Christensen and Hansi Flick
1 November 2026
Andreas Christensen has resumed partial group training after approximately six weeks recovering from a left-thigh muscle injury. His return offers Barcelona encouragement amid an ongoing defensive injury crisis.
The Danish international participated in a limited training session following Barcelona’s 6-1 victory over Deportivo Alavés. Christensen has been sidelined since suffering the injury against Sevilla on 19 September. He remains unlikely to feature against Aston Villa in the Champions League, but could be available for the subsequent La Liga match against Atlético Madrid if his recovery continues without setbacks.
Why It Matters
Christensen's recovery could ease Barcelona's defensive shortage before the international break.
