Not Only Losing To Inter Milan, Barcelona Is Also Threatened With Losing Andreas Christensen For 3 Weeks
JAKARTA - Bad luck befell Barcelona after being defeated by Inter Milan in the Champions League. After dropping three points, the Blaugrana are also in danger of losing Andreas Christensen for three weeks.
In a visit to the San Siro Stadium in the third match of Group C, Wednesday 5 October WIB, Barca lost 0-1 to the hosts.
Quoted from Football Espana, Barcelona is now experiencing a defense crisis. The reason, Andreas Christensen is reportedly injured.
In the match against Inter Milan, the former Chelsea player was withdrawn after less than an hour of playing. Christensen was forced to be replaced by Gerard Pique.
According to the club's statement, the player suffered an injury to his ankle ligaments.
However, Christensen's condition is still uncertain because the new club will undergo further examination on Thursday, October 6, local time.
However, if the diagnosis is correct, the former Chelsea player is claimed to be able to take up to three weeks to recover.
The Danish defender could potentially miss Barcelona's encounter with Celta Vigo, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Villarreal, and Athletic Bilbao.
Christensen's injury will also affect the team. The reason is, the Blaugrana now only has two fit central defenders.
Christensen's condition adds to the current list of Barcelona players' injuries after Memphis Depay, Hector Bellerin, Jules Kunde and Ronald Araujo had already been sidelined.
