"The Danish defender completed a light training session alongside most of the teammates who either did not play or started on the bench for Barcelona against Elche on Sunday. Christensen's return comes after several matches out of action, initially due to illness and later because of a muscle injury. The former Chelsea ace missed three matches: against Olympiacos, Real Madrid, and Elche."
"Goalkeeper Joan Garcia has not yet returned to group training. Barcelona consider it too early for him to rejoin full sessions, especially with the trip to Bruges scheduled for Tuesday. It would make little sense for him to return this Wednesday only to miss the following two training days while the team is in Belgium. In the best-case scenario, the 24-year-old goalkeeper will rejoin training later this week or early next week, provided his recovery continues as planned."
FC Barcelona welcomed Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo back for the Elche game. Andreas Christensen rejoined group training on Monday and completed a light session with teammates who did not play or were on the bench against Elche. Christensen missed three matches due to illness and a muscle injury and is now feeling well; barring setbacks he should be included in the squad for Wednesday's Champions League match against Club Brugge. Goalkeeper Joan Garcia has not yet returned to group training because the club considers it too early ahead of the Bruges trip. Garcia could rejoin later this week or early next, with Hansi Flick targeting a return around the 22 November match.
