It looks like this season will be Andreas Christensen's last as a Barcelona player, as he will definitely not play again this year.
Details: After sustaining a serious Achilles injury in August, the Danish defender was forced to undergo a second surgery.
According to Catalunya Radio, Christensen is expected to return to the field no earlier than 2025. Following the surgery, the player will undergo cellular regenerative therapy on both of his Achilles tendons, which Barcelona hopes will fully heal him from this ongoing issue.
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick will be desperately looking to have Christensen back as soon as possible, but he will have to wait at least two more months before being able to rely on the defender.
Recall: Earlier reports suggested that the 28-year-old center-back may leave the club in either the winter or summer transfer window, as he no longer fits into Barcelona's plans. His contract with the club runs until the summer of 2026.
