Barcelona move official Christensen has signed a four-year contract with Barcelona after leaving Chelsea, the club announced Monday.

Impact Christensen spent 10 years at Chelsea -- although he was sent on-loan for two seasons with Borussia Monchengladbach -- since joining the academy in 2012, but the 26-year-old is now moving on as a free agent. He could plug immediately into the starting lineup at Barcelona if Gerard Pique's injury issues from last season continue, as he will likely be competing with Eric Garcia for the other center-back spot alongside Ronald Araujo.

Out against Watford Christensen (undisclosed) was not involved in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Watford.

Impact There was a bit of mystery surrounding Christensen's absences near the end of the season, but the 26-year-old kept nine clean sheets in 19 Premier League appearances (17 starts) this campaign, as well as four clean sheets in eight games in the Champions League. But since he is heavily linked with a move away from Chelsea in the summer, Trevoh Chalobah was more of a preferred option in the back-three down the stretch.

Impact There's been no information on a possible issue, something that happened earlier in the season with Christensen, so there's a good chance he doesn't play again. Christensen doesn't seem likely to remain with the team even with 17 league starts this campaign and even if healthy, there's a chance he won't play in the final couple games.

Back in squad Christensen (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Wolves.

Impact Christensen missed the prior three matches with an unknown issue, but he's back in squad Saturday and ready to compete for minutes. He figures to get a start in an upcoming contest with a busy schedule ahead, though he's struggled in recent matches.

Status unknown for Wolves Christensen (undisclosed) remains a doubt for Saturday's match against Wolves after not being mentioned by manager Thomas Tuchel.

Impact Christensen has missed the last three matches after being taken off at the break of the home loss against Arsenal. It's unknown if this is injury related or if he's simply being benched for a poor performance. No matter, he's not needed at the moment and there's a chance he doesn't appear again this season.

Impact Christensen was removed from the starting XI against West Ham United on Sunday at the last minute, so it appears whatever is bothering the defender is relatively minor. Still, with Antonio Rudiger (groin) and Reece James (undisclosed) also close to returning, it's not immediately clear who might fill the central defensive roles, especially considering Christensen was an unused substitute in two of the club's last five contests and was subbed off at halftime in two of those appearances.

Late scratch Sunday Christensen has been scratched from the Chelsea starting XI during the warmup of Sunday's match with West Ham.

Impact Christensen was originally in the starting XI, but has been replaced by Trevoh Chalobah during the warmup to the match. More information on the defender's status should be available following the match.

Not mentioned in presser Christensen was not mentioned by manager Thomas Tuchel in Friday's press conference ahead of Sunday's match against West Ham.

Impact Tuchel said that Christensen asked to come off midweek, but that was likely to deflect some defensive blame from his defender. It's more likely Christensen played bad and he needed to be subbed off against Arsenal. It doesn't seem like the defender is injured, but given that performance, it's hard to see him starting Sunday even with Antonio Rudiger injured.

Asks to be subbed off Christensen asked to be subbed off at halftime with an issue during Wednesday's 4-2 loss against Arsenal, according to manager Thomas Tuchel.

Impact Christensen had a miserable first half and it's possible he's not actually injured. While he's been a regular at times this season, he's faltered in big spots, namely this match and then the 45 minutes he made it against Real Madrid. It's a wonder if these performances mean less playing time the rest of the way.

In doubt against Brentford Christensen (undisclosed) is questionable heading into Saturday's clash with Brentford.

Impact Christensen started each of the club's previous three contests in which he registered two shots (zero on target), five clearances and four interceptions. If the defender is unable to play versus Brentford, Trevoh Chalobah figures to step into the lineup in his stead.

Comes off injured against Lille Christensen was subbed out of Wednesday's Champions League victory against Lille in the 33rd minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Details about Christensen's injury will likely emerge after the game. He was replaced by Trevoh Chalobah on Wednesday, who could also fill in for him in the FA Cup at the weekend if necessary.

Logs full 90 minutes Christensen played the full 90 minutes against Norwich on Thursday in which he registered one shot (off target), four interceptions and two tackles (one won).

Impact While Christensen's return will no doubt bolster the club's backline, few fantasy players will be impacted due to his limited offensive upside with zero shots on target in 15 domestic appearances. The defender has been more impactful in Champions League action where he has one goal on three shots (two on target) one assist and one crosses (accurate) in six matches.
