An insight into the extent of the injury absence awaiting Barcelona star Andreas Christensen has been forthcoming online.
And the news will come as a blow for both club and player.
The name of defender Christensen has of course returned to the forefront of the headlines in Catalunya’s capital across the day to date.
As much comes after confirmation was forthcoming that the former Chelsea man has picked up yet another injury.
Specifically, as per a statement across Barca’s official social media platforms:
‘The first team player Andreas Christensen has a partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee as the result of an unfortunate twist of the knee in Saturday’s training session. After tests carried out on the player, a conservative course of treatment has been chosen. The player’s recovery time will depend on his progress.’
So, just how long is Christensen likely to be unavailable for selection for boss Hansi Flick and his staff?
As per a report from the reliable RAC1:
‘He will be out for around four months.’
