FC Barcelona faces another injury setback early in the season

FC Barcelona's recent fate hasn't been going as per their wishes, with the club struggling to get back on track. Even after departing stars like Ilkay Gundogan and Clement Lenglet and the young prodigies like Julian Araujo and Mika Faye, the Blaugrana still finds itself far from Olmo's registration.

Moreover, already in an injury-inflicted camp with stars like Ronald Araujo, Frenkie De Jong, and Gavi injured, the club has faced another injury case. With multiple starters injured, versatile star Christensen's injury comes with another setback for FC Barcelona early in the long campaign ahead.

While the Danish footballer's injury might sound good in securing the player's future at FC Barcelona, completely, Christensen's injury could prove vital for Barca's season. While reports had suggested that the player hasn't been training with the group due to discomfort in the Achilles, recent sources have confirmed the 28-year-old's tendon injury.

Not to forget, Christensen had struggled with a tendon injury last campaign as well, where he was ruled out for a couple of games. According to recent reports from Mundo Deportivo, Andreas Christensen will be undergoing treatment for his Achilles tendon, an injury he already struggled with last season.

Further, the report suggested that Christen could be out of the squad for almost a month. FC Barcelona is expecting him to be available for lineup selection only after the international break of September. Not only has the player's injury come as a significant setback, but it has ruled out any chances of his move this summer.

FC Barcelona is set to play three more games, including the upcoming fixture against Athletic, before the September break, and Christensen's absence would surely take some toll on the team's overall balance. Being the versatile player he is, having a good command over both the center-back role and the pivot role, the Danish footballer's injury is a major setback for the club.

Overall, Christensen is set to miss football action for almost a month, with reports suggesting his availability after the international break. FC Barcelona would hope that the versatile star returns back to the club's training camp as soon as possible with strong form in the playing XI.
