Andreas Christensen<\/strong> has once again suffered a serious injury with FC Barcelona<\/strong>. Tests carried out on the 29-year-old footballer this Sunday confirmed that the center-back suffered a partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee<\/strong> during Saturday’s training session, the last one before matchday 17 of LaLiga, against Villarreal<\/strong>.<\/p> The defender was left out of the squad against the ‘Yellow Submarine’<\/a> after an injury sustained accidentally, “due to an awkward movement” during training at the Ciutat Esportiva, according to the official Bar\u00e7a statement<\/a>. Now, the ’15’ of Bar\u00e7a will begin his recovery, in principle opting for conservative treatment instead of knee surgery.<\/p> In this regard, it is unknown how long Christensen could be out injured, but initial examinations point to **three to four months on average**, given the seriousness of the injury. If his long-term absence (more than four months) is confirmed, Bar\u00e7a will be able to save 80% of his salary to bring in another player in January.<\/p> “The approximate recovery time will depend on the player’s progress<\/strong>,” adds the medical report issued by the club. This season, Andreas played 515 minutes spread across 17 games (4 as a starter). The Lillerod native had previously scored Bar\u00e7a’s first goal<\/a> in the victory in Guadalajara (0-2).<\/p> He had previously missed four games due to a cold and calf discomfort. Although he was the last center-back considered by Hansi Flick<\/strong> in his rotation plan, the Dane has the coaching staff’s trustHis professionalism, dedication, and willingness to help the team have always been valued by the manager, who did not hesitate to bet on him in the final stretch of last season in both La Liga and the Champions League.<\/p> Christensen was injured for almost the entire 24\/25 season, first with Achilles tendon problems and then with another muscle injury suffered at the beginning of the year. In the summer, he managed to complete preseason with Bar\u00e7a (he scored a goal on the Asian tour) and, after the departure of I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez, he dispelled rumors linked to his possible summer exit.<\/p> How long will Christensen be out for Bar\u00e7a?<\/h2>
