Another 'KO' in defense! Barça will not be able to count on Christensen against Betis

The FC Barcelona will face the party against the Real Betis with a new drop in his defensive line. In addition to the already known injuries of Joãor Cancel (distention of the internal lateral ligament of the left knee) and Iñigo Martínez (muscular injury in the biceps femoral of the left thigh), now has added the absence of the Danish defender Andreas Christensen, the one who finally has not been summoned for the clash against the 'verdiblancos' of this Sunday.

It is necessary recalcar that in the last duel of the club culé, which aroused the past Thursday against the Unionistas in Glass of Rey (1-3), the ex of Chelsea had to be substituted during the rest because of a small overloads muscular, as it informed the media 'SPORT'. In this moment, seemed that it would not be an important problem and that the defender would be in full conditions to play against the Andalusians.

Nevertheless, according to the same source, in this occasion Andreas Christensen has not been able to train in the field because of a hit in one of his feet. In his place, the Danish has had to make individual exercises in the gymnasium and finally finished descartando his trip to Seville, but no his presence in the commitment of Glass of the King in front of the Athletic in Saint Mamés.

The Barça will have to look for like recomponer his saga

Fortunately, for the Barcelona cast, in spite of this drop in defence, will be able to have the return of Ronald Araújo, what will allow to reinforce the defensive line. The charrúa could form couple of head offices with Jules Koundé, although both also could be considered to occupy the right side, especially because Joãor Cancel still has not recovered , what could open a small debate around the preparation of the defensive line.

Displace to Araújo or to Koundé to the side would mean that, by natural characteristics, the piece to employ to reinforce the centre of the defence would be the youngster and promising Pau Cubarsí. Nevertheless, no descarta the possibility that Xavi Hernández decide to range to Sergi Roberto in the right side, such as it did in the Glass of Rey and give him the opportunity to the French and the charrúa to go back to form pair of defenders, a combination that has contributed a lot of security, but that in this campaign there has not been the occasion to see them together in this very followed demarcation.
