Andreas Christensen Leaves Barcelona Training Early, Doubtful for Club Brugge Trip

Spanish reports cite fresh muscle discomfort during the brief session, indicating likely omission from the traveling squad.

Overview

Barcelona has not issued a medical update after Christensen exited the morning workout minutes after joining the group.
Christensen missed the previous three matches, first for a stomach issue and then for muscle soreness.
If he is out, Hansi Flick’s natural centre-back options narrow to Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia, with Pau Cubarsi expected to feature.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Joan Garcia, Gavi, Pedri, and Raphinha stayed in the treatment room, with Joan Garcia targeting a return after the international break.
Christensen’s availability has been intermittent this season with 338 minutes across nine appearances, and reduced depth follows Inigo Martinez’s summer departure.
