"The return of Christensen, who has featured in 17 matches across all competitions this season and scored once, also carries additional significance because he may be entering his final weeks as a Barcelona player. The former Chelsea defender's contract expires in June and the club have offered him a two-year extension, though with a substantial salary reduction."
Barcelona host Real Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou aiming to secure the La Liga title, needing only one point to be crowned champions for a second consecutive season. Andreas Christensen has recovered from a partial anterior cruciate ligament tear in his left knee suffered in December and has been training normally with the group for more than a week. Full medical clearance has not yet been granted, but Barcelona are assessing his condition internally and could decide between the day before and matchday. Because of his lengthy absence and the fixture intensity, he is unlikely to play a major role, though he could be included in the squad to help reintegration. His return also matters because his contract expires in June, with a proposed two-year extension involving a substantial salary reduction.
