The full picture
Andreas Christensen is nearing a return from injury, having taken part in a group session with Barcelona on Sunday following their win over Alaves, according to Barca Blaugranes. He has been out since September but is expected to be the first of Barcelona's injured defenders to return. Christensen's progress is reported to be good, but coach Hansi Flick is cautious about rushing his return.
Hansi Flick provided an update on Christensen's status after the victory over Alaves, stating that Christensen is close to rejoining the group but that the team won't take any risks due to the upcoming break. Flick hopes to have one or two injured players back soon, but prioritizes caution for the rest of the season.
Christensen's potential return is being considered for next week, ahead of games against Aston Villa and Atletico, as reported by Marca. However, Flick's comments suggest he may have to wait until after the international break, with other defensive options like Brian Farinas and Frenkie de Jong emerging in the meantime.
