US EditionBarca's Denmark Defender Christensen Suffers Cruciate Ligament Tear
- On Saturday, Andreas Christensen suffered a partial ACL tear in training, ruling him out of Sunday's LaLiga game against Villarreal; Barcelona said a conservative treatment was chosen, with recovery depending on his development.
- Previously, he was limited to just six appearances last season mainly due to an Achilles problem, and a calf injury sidelined him earlier in the current campaign.
- In Tuesday's Copa del Rey tie, Andreas Christensen, Barcelona centre-back, made his first start since September and scored the first goal in the 2-0 win over Guadalajara.
- The injury leaves Barcelona short in the middle of defence with Ronald Araújo also absent, elevating Pau Cubars� and Gerard Mart�n as starters while January transfer market options remain open.
- A source told ESPN earlier this month that, with Ronald Araújo's return in 2026 conditional, Christensen's recent injury record and contract situation add uncertainty to his future at Barcelona.
