Barcelona will now closely monitor Christensen’s rehabilitation, with no fixed return date set. The club has made it clear that his recovery will be assessed step by step, prioritising long-term fitness over rushing him back into action. A cautious approach suggests Barcelona are keen to avoid aggravating the injury or risking a more serious setback.
In the short term, Flick will need to adjust his defensive plans. With Christensen unavailable, greater responsibility will fall on the remaining centre-back options as Barcelona aim to maintain their advantage in La Liga and progress in Europe.

For Christensen, however, the injury could also hinder his availability for Denmark's World Cup qualifying playoff and, if they get there, the tournament itself.
