Barcelona has received a strong morale boost ahead of their match against Girona on Sunday evening, as part of the 29th round of La Liga, following the return of Danish defender Andreas Christensen to the team's training sessions.

According to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo", Christensen participated in Barcelona's collective training session on Saturday for the first time after recovering from an injury that sidelined him for four weeks.

Despite his return, Barcelona will not rush to include him in matches, as the coaching staff led by Hans Flick prefers to wait until he reaches full readiness, leaving the final decision regarding the player's participation in the hands of the coach.

Christensen is considered an important tactical option for Flick, thanks to his ability to play both as a center-back and in midfield, providing additional flexibility in the lineup.

Saturday's training also saw Dutch player Frenkie de Jong participating normally after recovering from a minor injury sustained during the recent match against Osasuna.
