Out against Elche Christensen (undisclosed) was not included in the squad for Saturday's trip to Elche.

Impact Christensen won't make the trip to Elche after picking up an injury while on international duty.

Makes bench for Almeria Christensen made the bench for Saturday's league matchup with Almeria.

Impact Christensen had been dealing with a sprained ankle and makes his return to the squad list for Saturday's contest. It's welcomed news for a Barcelona squad that isn't looking terribly deep across the back at the moment.

Cleared to play Christensen (ankle) has been cleared to feature ahead of Saturday's match against Almeria.

Impact Christensen's return is quite timely after Gerard Pique announced his impending retirement after Saturday's game. Keeping the defense healthy has been a major problem this season, but Christensen now gets a couple of chances to play before the World Cup. Heading into 2023, Jules Kounde and Eric Garcia are likely to be the preferred center-back pairing but Christensen should still get plenty of minutes.

Trains with teammates Christensen (ankle) trained with his teammates during Wednesday's session ahead of Saturday's match against Almeria, according to Javier Miguel of AS.

Impact Christensen is close to returning on schedule following a month of missed matches. After a shaky display in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Viktoria Plzen, Christensen should have little problems making the starting lineup over Gerard Pique when cleared to play.

Doesn't make squad list Christensen (ankle) didn't make the squad list for Tuesday's match at Viktoria Plzen.

Impact Christensen was hoping to return in time for this game but that hasn't happened yet. He'll now target Saturday's match against Almeria and will look to get at least one appearance before the league takes a break for the World Cup. A new injury crisis has left Gerard Pique and Marcos Alonso as the best available central-defenders for now.

Could return Tuesday Christensen (ankle) has some hopes to return by Tuesday's trip to Viktoria Plzen, according to manager Xavi ahead of Saturday's match against Valencia.

Impact Christensen isn't going to play over the weekend as he and Memphis Depay (hamstring) approach the final stages of their recovery. Going into a relatively meaningless UCL match Christensen could get a safe chance to start alongside Eric Garcia or Jules Kounde.
