Spanish media reveal whether Christensen and Fati will play against Atletico

Following their defeat to Leganes over the weekend, Barcelona now has just one win in their last six LLiga matches. This dip in form makes Saturday’s clash with Atletico Madrid crucial for Hansi Flick’s side, who are currently level on points with Los Colchoneros.

Over the past couple of months, Barcelona has been gradually reintegrating players from injury. The latest to resume training with the squad are Ansu Fati and Andreas Christensen. Here's what the Spanish press reports about their availability for the Atletico game.

Details. According to Sport, Fati is highly likely to be included in the squad for Saturday’s La Liga fixture.

However, Christensen’s return appears to be delayed. The Danish defender is not yet ready, and Barcelona’s coaching staff does not intend to take any risks with his health.

Over the past week, Christensen has trained with his teammates, but Flick is cautious about rushing him back. Instead, the Copa del Rey match against Barbastro could mark his return to competitive action.

Reminder. Christensen has been sidelined since August due to a severe Achilles tendon injury that required two surgeries.

Earlier, it was reported that Barcelona’s return to the Camp Nou might be postponed until next season.
