Denmark Coach to Meet Barcelona Boss Over Christensen Injury

Danish national team coach Brian Riemer plans a personal meeting with Barcelona coach Hansi Flick to address the ongoing fitness struggles of defender Andreas Christensen. Christensen has withdrawn from the Danish squad ahead of two Nations League matches against Portugal and Norway. This decision comes after the defender recently returned from an injury. Riemer expressed that this collaboration is crucial for developing a comprehensive plan to get Christensen back to full fitness for extended periods.

The manager highlighted Christensen's significance to the team, stating the goal is not just a brief return but ensuring he can be a leading figure for the national team long-term. Riemer previously revealed that Christensen was deeply affected by having to withdraw, nearly crying when relaying the news. The coach acknowledged the need for the player to recover, indicating that he will 'lick his wounds' while a plan is formulated.
