Christensen in a Race Against Time Before El Clasico
The newspaper "Sport" reported that Andreas Christensen is racing against time in an attempt to be fit for the El Clasico match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, amid significant doubts about his physical readiness.
According to the report, Christensen returned to work with the group on April 29 alongside Raphinha and Marc Bernal, where the players traveled to Pamplona, and Bernal participated for a few minutes in the 2-1 victory over Osasuna.
The newspaper explained that Christensen's left knee injury since last December, along with his history of injuries, is prompting the technical staff led by Hans Flick to handle his case with great caution, noting that the coach admitted uncertainty about his ability to participate before the end of the season.
The report added that it seems unlikely for the player to receive medical clearance before the Clasico, even if he is included in the match squad.
In a related context, the newspaper indicated that Christensen has an offer from Barcelona to extend his contract for an additional two seasons, but he has not yet made his decision. The final minutes of the season might help him prove himself or improve his position in the transfer market.
The report also pointed out that the Danish national team failed to qualify for the World Cup after losing in the playoffs, making it more important for the player to get playing time before the end of the season.
According to the newspaper, the remaining matches against Deportivo Alavés, Real Betis, and Valencia might be his last chances this season if he does not participate in the Clásico.
The newspaper pointed out that Christensen has not participated in an official match with Barcelona since December 16, 2025, against Guadalajara in the King's Cup, having played only 513 minutes across 17 matches this season.
The Danish defender is entering his fourth season with Barcelona after transferring from Chelsea, having participated in 97 matches and scored 5 goals. Meanwhile, the club and the coaching staff, led by Flick, continue to trust in his abilities despite recurring injuries, considering the current phase crucial for his future.
