"I think he'll be out for the next few months. He was playing at a high level. He gave us stability in defense. He was a good option, but now he's out."
"Cubarsí, at 18, seems very mature. He's always calm, gives us defensive stability, and creates chances from the back. He gives us a lot."
"You always know what Gerard Martín is going to give you. His improvement is very good. I'm grateful for the stability he offers us. I appreciate him a lot."
Andreas Christensen will be sidelined for the next few months with a knee injury after performing at a high level and providing defensive stability. Pau Cubarsi and Gerard Martín will start as Barcelona's central defensive pairing against Villarreal. Cubarsi, aged 18, shows maturity, calmness, defensive stability and the ability to create chances from the back. Gerard Martín delivers consistent, reliable performances and clear improvement, offering further defensive stability. Christensen's absence reduces depth at centre-back and fuels speculation that Barcelona may seek to sign another defender in the January window.
