We are looking now how heavy is the injury. Hopefully it&#8217;s not so much.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christensen joined Bar\u00e7a on a free transfer from\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0in 2022 and made 32 appearances to help the club win LaLiga in his first season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He followed his debut campaign up with another 42 appearances last term, being used as a defensive midfielder at times by previous coach Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez, but he has been limited to just one outing this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his absence,\u00a0Pau Cubars\u00ed\u00a0and\u00a0I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez\u00a0have emerged as Bar\u00e7a&#8217;s first choice centre-back pairing, with\u00a0Ronald Ara\u00fajo\u00a0and\u00a0Eric Garc\u00eda\u00a0providing backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We want at least four players for this position,&#8221; Flick added. &#8220;Normally we have five really good centre-backs, but without Andreas, it&#8217;s four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ronald also had a huge injury but he&#8217;s doing really good now. He&#8217;s a leader. He has everything to reach a very high level. I am really happy with all of them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Squad depth may be needed in the coming weeks as the games come thick and fast for the LaLiga leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Tuesday&#8217;s 4-4 draw against\u00a0Atl\u00e9tico Madrid\u00a0in the first leg of the\u00a0Copa del Rey\u00a0semifinal, Bar\u00e7a welcome Real Sociedad in LaLiga this weekend before travelling to\u00a0Benfica\u00a0in the Champions League on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flick aid the fact his side are still in the running to win all three competitions, after already winning the Spanish Supercopa in January, is proof they are exceeding expectations this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have to accept [the busy schedule] and manage it with the players, maybe by using some fresh legs,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s good to have [the games]. We have three competitions and can fight for three titles. When we start this season, at this time now, March 1, no one expected that. The team is going great.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/soccer\/story\/_\/id\/44065283\/andrea-christensen-injury-barcelona-defender-suffers-another-setback\">(ESPN)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barcelona\u00a0coach Hansi Flick has revealed defender\u00a0Andreas Christensen\u00a0has picked up another injury just three days after being cleared to return to action against\u00a0Real Sociedad\u00a0this weekend.
