Injuries are one of the biggest problems for the teams this season. The busy schedule means that players break down more easily than in the past, as has happened to Iñigo Martinez.
In the absence of the Spanish international, Andreas Christensen appears as one of the great 'beneficiaries' of the absence of the former Real Sociedad and Athletic player.
The Danish defender was unquestionable in the centre of defence until the recovery of Iñigo Martinez. Since then, he has been alternating substitutions with starts, and even some games without playing a single minute.
Now, with the Spaniard injured, and unable to play until 2024 according to 'Sport', Xavi Hernandez will once again use one of Barcelona's most profitable signings in recent years.
