It's been five months since Andreas Christensen last played for Barcelona, but that long stretch could come to an end this weekend as the Danish defender prepares for his long-awaited return from injury.
Christensen was forced to undergo surgery on his Achilles tendon after the season opener against Valencia, and has been out of action since. However, his recovery is now in the final stages and according to MD he will be given the medical green light in the coming days, meaning he could be included in the matchday squad for the match against Getafe this weekend.
Christensen's return comes at a good time for Barcelona, who will be without Inigo Martinez for the next month after his injury against Real Madrid last weekend. The 28-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Catalan giants in recent months, although he will be a key player for Flick for now.
