Bar\u00e7a held a recovery session this Monday after the match against Elche, with their sights set on the visit to Bruges and a medical discharge. Andreas Christensen has returned to training with the group<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

The FC Barcelona squad<\/a> returned to work on Monday with good news. Andreas Christensen<\/strong>, absent in the last three matches due to physical problems, returned to training with the group and will be available for the visit to Bruges<\/strong>, this Wednesday, November 5 at 9:00 p.m. for matchday 4 of the league phase of the UEFA Champions League 2025\/26<\/strong>.<\/p>

The Dane was absent against Olympiacos <\/strong>due to a viral condition and also missed the Cl\u00e1sico <\/strong>due to discomfort in his right calf. The defender was unable to train normally last week, and Hansi Flick<\/strong>, as a precaution, gave him rest against Elche<\/strong>. With this, Bar\u00e7a had 6 casualties due to injury against the Elche team.<\/p>

The list of absentees, however, will be reduced to 5 players for Matchday 4 of the Champions League. Christensen has accumulated 338 minutes of action in 9 matches (3 as a starter)<\/strong> this season. Although he remains a regular substitute, Flick considers him a key piece for his rotation plan.<\/p>

Christensen would play again against Brugge<\/h2>

Barring any surprises, Pau Cubars\u00ed<\/strong> will return to the center of defense as Eric Garc\u00eda’s<\/strong> partner on Wednesday, with Ronald Araujo<\/strong> and Andreas Christensen waiting for their opportunity on the bench. The ‘charr\u00faa’ did not have a good day in his return to the lineup against Elche, while the Dane has not been in the starting XI since September 28, against Real Sociedad.<\/p>

However, the ’15’ could add minutes in the second half, as he did against Newcastle <\/strong>(20′) and PSG <\/strong>(4′). When he has been available, the Lillerod native has almost always seen action. So far this season, he only didn’t play against Mallorca and Valencia. Prior to his physical problems, he had entered in the 63rd minute against Girona.<\/p>

Thus, Bar\u00e7a will go to Bruges with 5 confirmed injury absences. Joan Garc\u00eda<\/strong> and Raphinha<\/strong> should return after the November break, while Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong> is expected to return at the end of the month or the beginning of December. Ter Stegen<\/strong> is also aiming for next month to be medically cleared, and Gavi<\/strong> will be out, at least, until February 2026.<\/p>
