The FC Barcelona held its last training session on Saturday morning before the match against Girona, which will take place this Sunday, March 30, at Montjuïc. The Catalans are approaching the final stretch of LaLiga as the sole leaders of the standings, but the competition for the title promises to be intense until the last matchday and, due to the tight schedule, it will be important to have as many resources as possible in the squad.

In this regard, Hansi Flick and the blue and garnet entity received good news during the morning session on March 29, as Andreas Christensen has trained with his teammates ahead of the clash against Míchel's team. The center-back suffered an injury to the soleus muscle in his right leg at the beginning of the month and was expected to be out for four weeks, which will be completed this weekend.

The Danish player has had a forgettable season, having practically been invisible by playing only 27 minutes in the opening match against Valencia at Mestalla. Considering his recent history with injuries, the club will handle his return with caution and it remains to be seen if he can be included in the squad for this Sunday or if he will return in one of the two matches next week, although it is positive to see him training with the rest of the group.

The roadmap for Barça with Christensen after his return

Looking ahead to the final stretch of the season, Hansi Flick hopes to have Andreas to help in defense and, even, in midfield if necessary, since Marc Casadó will be out at least until mid-May and only Frenkie de Jong and Eric García are reliable options to cover the position.

Christensen alternated between the pivot position and center-back last season and, at Chelsea, he also proved capable of playing as a libero in a three-man line under Thomas Tuchel. Meanwhile, the blue and garnet management also hopes to give the Nordic player some playing time in the final stretch of the 24-25 season, with the aim of putting him back on the market and making a profit from his departure.

The '15' has one year left on his contract, but he will likely be put up for sale, especially if Barça ultimately decides to sign Jonathan Tah. The Danish player arrived for free in 2022, so a transfer fee of around 12-15 million euros would be positive for the club. Christensen, for his part, despite feeling comfortable in the Catalan city, would welcome a change of scenery to regain the minutes and regularity he has lost in the team.
