Real Madrid: Christensen package for the Clasico? The club takes stock

He wasn’t the flashiest signing in Barça’s summer transfer window, but he quickly became one of the most useful. Arrived discreetly free from Chelsea, Andreas Christensen has established himself as an indisputable holder in the axis of the defense of the Blaugrana. A rise in pressure week after week for the one who perfectly characterizes the Catalan defense, the best in its championship with only nine goals conceded in 26 games. But while the Clasico in the semi-final second leg of the King’s Cup is coming to an end (April 5), he could well miss the call.

Indeed, the former Blues was injured with the Danish selection during the qualifying match for Euro 2024 against Finland. Quickly, the first diagnoses announced three to four weeks of absence. Two days after his injury, his club has just communicated on his state of health: “The examinations carried out on the player Andreas Christensen showed an injury to the level of the soleus muscle. The duration of his absence will depend on his evolution”, can we read, which sows more than ever doubt about his presence in this long-awaited shock. As a reminder, the Blaugrana will also have to do without Pedri and Ousmane Dembélé, who are still injured.
