XAVI RULES OUT AN INJURY
Andreas Christensen, 'protected': Barça replaced him as a precaution
Andreas Chesitensen was not especially successful in the visit of FC Barcelona to Villarreal. He set off the alarms when he was substituted at halftime, but from the club they rule out that it is something serious
The FC Barcelona lived an afternoon complicated in The Ceramics that, with a lot of suffering, saldó with victory. They were many unfit them defensive that had the group blaugrana that they will have to correct during the week, in the previous of the visit to the Osasuna before begin the stop of selections. Although in front of Getafe and Cádiz kept the goal to zero, in front of the Villarreal all the defenders remained very distinguished.
Andreas Christensen, the one who usually commissions to give order in the retaguardia, went one of them. It lived of the desacierto in each one of the crashes against the rival attackers and signed a grey afternoon, 'novelty' for him since it is in the Barça. Besides, it was substituted in the rest and lit the alarms: it Was 'touched' or was a technical decision? Xavi Hernández has resolved all the doubts.
Christensen is not lesionado
Eric García was the attendant to jump to the field in the rest to occupy the space of Christensen and accompany to Jules Koundé in the axis of the defence. In it films it back press to the party, Xavi has confirmed that the change has been by pure caution and that the central Danish is not lesionado. They wanted to protect it to avoid that it happened to greater, put are not to risk to his players in this stretch of the season.
Questioned in this regard, the trainer egarense has explained that "the change of Christensen was by annoyances, did not feel comfortable and therefore Eric went in by him". From the club argue that it suffered of muscular fatigue and that descarta that pass to something more, but it will be necessary to be very pending to his evolution because the Barça, to day of today, does not have a lot of effective available for his defence.
An injury of Christensen would be dramatic
It results logical that, at first, the Barça substituted to Christensen. It does not be necessary to overlook that, beside Eric García and Jules Koundé, is the only central available in front of the injuries of Ronald Araújo and Iñigo Martínez. In case fall in the infirmary would be an authentic drama of face to the visit to Osasuna, by what it will be necessary to take care it to the maximum and trust that it was more hit in the next presentations.
