The FC Barcelona has an important problem of effective in the central axis of his defence. The sportive planning of the technical office had four players for this demarcation -Gerard Hammered, Clément Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti and Thomas Vermaelen- but the physical state of these two last concerns, and a lot.

Samuel Umtiti has problems in the cartilage of the knee from does months. It followed a process of conservative recovery for esquivar the fact to have to operate, but seems that, after playing complete the party of LaLiga against the Athletic of Madrid, goes back to have problems. The operating theatre is not descartado for the French.

On the other hand, it is the case of Thomas Vermaelen, that has turned into an usual of the infirmary since Andoni Zubizarreta bet by his signing. When it was player of the Arsenal already saw that it was very liable to lesionarse, but confirmed it in the Barcelona. At present it is in the dry dam by muscular problems.

The fact to have two footballers of a same position so liable to the injuries does that Gerard Hammered and Clément Lenglet are the two only safe bets for the central axis. In these moments, an injury or a sanction of any one of them would put in a big wrap to Ernesto Valverde, that would see forced to throw of the filial.

Andreas Christensen, the alternative

The problems of effective of the FC Barcelona in defence do that it was not at all descabellada the idea to attend to the market of signings that will initiate in January of 2019. The option of fichar to a central is on the table and, according to the informations of newspaper Sport, Andreas Christensen, head office of Chelsea, would be a serious candidate.

Christensen is 22 years old and is international by the selection of Denmark. In spite of being a big promise and a player of big projection of future, Maurizio Sarri, trainer of Chelsea, hardly is him giving minutes. In this stage, the player would see with good eyes a change of airs. It is a fast defence and with a big quality to play the balloon, by what would fit in the FC Barcelona.
