Injuries continue to trouble FC Barcelona, with their impact posing both short- and long-term challenges. Despite the club's efforts to manage these setbacks, the Catalan giants often face difficult decisions to cope, relying on available players or making unplanned moves in the transfer market. Marc-André ter Stegen’s injury earlier this season forced Barcelona to sign Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny as a temporary solution.

Now, the situation has worsened with Andreas Christensen’s prolonged absence. The 28-year-old defender, who had already been dealing with a long-term injury, recently underwent another surgery on both tendons. According to Laia Tudel, this development will extend his recovery by another two months. This setback further complicates Barcelona’s defensive depth, forcing the club to navigate critical fixtures without one of their key players.
