Barça's Christensen forced off at half time, replaced by Eric Garcia

The defender came off with a knock in the win over Getafe

Andreas Christensen -- who was having a great game against Getafe and was key in Barca's first goal by recovering the ball and passing it to Raphinha -- was substituted due to an overload in his left hamstring at halftime. Eric Garcia took his place.

At the time of the goal, the Danish defender took advantage of the break to approach the bench and communicate that he felt discomfort.

At halftime, Barça coach Xavi Hernandez did not want to force the issue and changed him. We will expand with the medical statement once the club shares it.

IN FORM

Being able to finish playing the first 45 minutes, it seems that it is not a long-term injury, but it is true that it comes during his best moment of form. The ex-Chelsea man is demonstrating his quality in recent weeks.

Jordi Alba also entered for Balde, but in his case it was only a matter of resting the youngster.
