Denmark's national team coach has declared it "not possible" to call up Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen for the upcoming Nations League fixtures. The 28-year-old center-back, who featured for Barcelona in their Champions League match against Aston Villa at Camp Nou on November 3, will not be available for international duty.
The Danish Football Association announced the decision on Friday, though specific reasons for Christensen's exclusion were not detailed in the immediate statement. Christensen has been a regular for Denmark since his debut in 2015, earning over 70 caps and representing the country at major tournaments including the 2018 World Cup and Euro 2020.
Denmark's Nations League campaign continues with matches scheduled during the November international window. The team will need to adjust their defensive options in Christensen's absence as they pursue promotion or aim to avoid relegation in their group.
