The official website of FC Barcelona reported that first team player Andreas Christensen suffered a partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee following an unfortunate twist during team training on Saturday. After conducting medical examinations, the club decided to adopt a conservative treatment plan to monitor the progress of his condition.

The club indicated that the player's absence from the field will depend on his response to treatment and the progress of his recovery.

Christensen is considered one of the key elements in Barcelona's defense line this season, having participated in 17 matches, including 12 in La Liga, 4 in the UEFA Champions League, and one in the Copa del Rey. His last appearance was against Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey, where he scored the first goal in Barcelona's 2-0 victory in the round of 32.

It is worth noting that Christensen's season has been affected by injuries, as he missed important matches against Olympiacos, Club Brugge, Real Madrid, and Elche due to leg problems.

Although the Catalan club has not announced the duration of the player's absence, the newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" indicated that the Danish defender's absence could range between 3 to 4 months.
