"In a concerning development, Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen left the training session prematurely after working with the rest of the group for a few minutes, reports SPORT. The 29-year-old defender joined his teammates on the field but left the session fifteen minutes later, as he felt some new discomfort. The club did not issue any medical statement, but the defender has already missed the last three matches, one due to gastrointestinal discomfort and two because of muscle soreness in his calf."
"As is customary before Champions League matches, Flick began the day with a video session analysing the opponent, after which the players took to the pitch around 11:30 a.m. Before training began in full, the German coach held private discussions with Wojciech Szczesny, Robert Lewandowski, and Marcus Rashford. The group of injured players who were absent on Monday remained in the treatment room: Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Joan Garcia, Gavi, Pedri, and Raphinha."
FC Barcelona held a morning training session at Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper ahead of the trip to Belgium for Champions League Matchday 4. Hansi Flick altered routine by training in Barcelona rather than at the opponent's stadium. Andreas Christensen worked with the group briefly but left after fifteen minutes feeling new discomfort and is expected to miss the squad travelling to Bruges. Christensen had missed the previous three matches due to gastrointestinal issues and calf muscle soreness. Flick began with a video analysis, held private talks with Szczesny, Lewandowski and Rashford, and left injured players ter Stegen, Joan Garcia, Gavi, Pedri and Raphinha in treatment. Academy players Xavi Espart, Dro and Toni Fernandez participated.
