A long-term injury absentee at La Liga giants Barcelona will mark his return to first-team training at some point next week.
That’s according to Diario AS, who point towards Andreas Christensen as the player in question.
Defender Christensen is for his part in the midst of nothing short of a nightmare campaign to date.
After being ruled out for the opening half of the term owing to a long-term Achilles issue, the Danish international, on the verge of his return to the pitch, was dealt a fresh setback last month.
This came amid confirmation that he had picked up a calf injury.
Heading into the decisive stretch of the campaign, Hansi Flick and his coaching staff will in turn no doubt be delighted to hear that Christensen, at long last, looks set to make his comeback.
As per a report from AS:
‘Christensen is now in the final stretch of his recovery. In fact, according to AS, the defender plans to rejoin the group next week with the intention of being discharged by the end of this month.’
