Official: Barcelona defender suffers fresh injury setback, out for three weeks

Only a few weeks after coming back from a five-month spell out on the sidelines, Barcelona have confirmed that Andreas Christensen has suffered a fresh injury.

“First team player Andreas Christensen suffered a right soleus injury during Monday’s training session. He will be out for approximately three weeks,” the statement from the club read.

Christensen has made only one appearance this season, which came on the opening day of the season against Valencia.

Following that, the Danish international was sidelined for a period of five months after having undergone surgery to address his Achilles tendinopathy issue which had been troubling him since last season.

Christensen made his comeback to the squad earlier this month but was yet to make an appearance since returning.

Now, the defender’s return to the pitch will have to wait for three more weeks as he has suffered a fresh injury setback.

This also means that any talk of a potential January departure for the 28-year-old is ruled out amid interest from the Premier League and Serie A.
