The 30-year-old Danish centre-back was taken off hurt during Barca's 3-1 win at Sevilla on Saturday in La Liga, which preserved the Catalan team's 100 percent start to the season.
"He will be out for the next few weeks and his progress will determine his availability," said Barca in a statement.
Christensen, who has been plagued by injuries since joining Barcelona in 2022, will miss Nations League matches with Denmark in the upcoming international break.
Denmark face four matches starting with an away trip to Norway on Thursday before hosting Wales on Sunday. They follow that with another home tie against Portugal before a reverse fixture in Wales on October 4.
Barca's win in Seville took them six points clear at the top of La Liga before title rivals Real Madrid face Atletico Madrid on Sunday in a derby clash.
