Christensen returned to the Denmark national team after 14 months, last time playing in the European Cup in June last year

After 14 months, Barcelona defender Christensen returned to the Denmark national team.

29-year-old Barcelona defender Christensen returns to the national team and becomes the biggest highlight of the latest roster of the Denmark national team. He can not only play as a central defender, but also compete for the midfielder.

Denmark will face Scotland and Greece in the 2026 World Cup European qualifiers in September. Christensen was almost unable to play for Barcelona last season due to a serious injury to his left Achilles tendon and was also unable to be selected for the national team. Christensen's last time played for Denmark was in the Euro Cup 1/8 final on June 29, 2024, when Denmark lost to Germany 0-2 and was eliminated.

Christensen has fully recovered and has appeared as a substitute in the second round of La Liga against Levante, completing his season debut and playing for 15 minutes, helping Barcelona complete a 3-2 comeback.

Christensen's form also won the call for Danish coach Brian Rimmer, who also participated normally during the preseason and scored a goal on the Asian Tour.
