Christensen Clarifies Training ‘Misunderstanding’ as Barcelona Pauses Renewal Talks

Barcelona will judge a new deal on proof of sustained availability after last season’s Achilles trouble.

Overview

  • Andreas Christensen told TV2 the pre-match training exit was an organisational mix-up for planned physical work rather than a new injury.
  • He returned after nearly a month out to play the closing minutes in Barcelona’s win over Celta Vigo and was later named in Denmark’s World Cup qualifying squad.
  • Christensen says he has been fit this season apart from illness and has played every minute for Denmark since his September return.
  • His contract runs to 2026, with talks held off as sporting director Deco has signaled a season-by-season evaluation and fitness as the key factor for any extension.
  • The defender has a limited club role so far, logging 342 minutes across 10 Barcelona matches, and says constant questions about his condition are frustrating.
