So far this campaign, Hansi Flick has not had too many injuries to contend with, especially to starting players.

Lamine Yamal has suffered a couple of ankle injuries, but they have only kept him on the sidelines for a few games. 

The most recent injury the Blaugrana have suffered is Inigo Martinez, who went off with a hamstring injury against Real Madrid in the Super Cup final.

Now, Barcelona have confirmed that Andreas Christensen, who has just returned from a long spell on the sidelines, has injured his right soleus during Monday’s training session.

This setback will keep the Danish international out for three weeks according to the club, meaning they only have Ronald Araújo, Pau Cubarsí and Eric Garcia available at centre-back. 

Christensen has been subject to much transfer speculation as the Blaugrana look to free up wage space so Marcus Rashford can join, however, that plan is now seemingly out the window.

Hopefully, the 28-year-old defender recovers quickly as his time at Barcelona has been plagued by injuries, meaning we have not really seen what he has to offer.
