According to Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen missed training on Friday due to Achilles tendon discomfort and is expected to miss Saturday’s game against Athletic Bilbao.
It is understood that Christensen has been dealing with Achilles tendon issues since last season. This absence from training is not related to recent transfer rumors.
In the first round of La Liga, Christensen came on as a substitute in the 64th minute of the away game against Valencia. He is reportedly still an important part of new coach Xavi’s plans. Although selling him could bring the club significant revenue, he is not expected to leave the team as rumored.
