Barcelona’s final game before the international break saw the team secure a 3-1 victory over Sevilla. But the joy of the win was overshadowed by Andreas Christensen’s injury.

Recent reports indicate the Dane could be out for up to two months due to the thigh injury he picked up against Sevilla.

His injury has already forced Barcelona to step up their efforts in finding a new centre-back in the January transfer window. But it could also see one more change, with Jules Kounde coming into the fray.

According to AS , the injury to Christensen could serve as a boon for Kounde due to Barcelona’s limited depth in the defensive unit.

The Frenchman has fallen out of favour in the Barcelona starting eleven this season, as Hansi Flick has picked Eric Garcia as his preferred right-back.

As a result, Kounde has featured in only two matches where he has completed the entirety of ninety minutes. He has started only one of the seven league matches so far.

But that could change following the injury to Christensen, given that Barcelona only have limited number of options in the defensive department.
