Christensen returns as Inigo Martinez makes way in Barcelona squad to face Betis

Christensen is back in contention after recovering from a recurrence of his soleus injury, which had sidelined him since early March.

The Danish centre-back resumed training following the international break and, having taken the necessary precautions, has now been included in Hansi Flick's squad for Saturday's clash in Montjuic.

Christensen has yet to make an appearance this season due to ongoing fitness issues. In addition to his return, the squad remains without long-term absentees Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Bernal, while Marc Casado and Dani Olmo are also unavailable.

Inigo Martinez has been given a rest.
