Andreas Christensen adds to Barcelona’s injury problems

Andreas Christensen has joined Barcelona’s growing injury list after going off in the second half of Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Inter.

The Denmark international was named in the starting XI alongside Eric Garcia with Xavi without both Ronald Araujo and Jules Kounde due to injury.

However, Christensen had to go off before the hour mark after appearing to pick up an ankle problem. He was replaced by Gerard Pique.

The injury will be another problem for Xavi and leaves Barcelona short of center-back options at a busy time of the season ahead of the World Cup.
