Barcelona suffer injury blow as Hansi Flick confirms defender will 'miss a few weeks'

Barcelona began the international break on a high note after beating Sevilla 3-1 at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan to make it seven wins from seven in La Liga. Despite being held to a 1-1 draw in the first half, the Catalan club surged after the break, with Raphinha scoring a hat-trick. The day also brought an injury setback: Andreas Christensen, 30, was taken off in the second half after feeling discomfort in the back of his left thigh following a challenge on Sevilla striker Robbie Ure. Hansi Flick confirmed Christensen will be out for “a few weeks,” and Barcelona plans further tests today. Barcelona say the issue is not related to a prior cruciate ligament injury, and he previously dealt with Achilles problems.
