Will Samuel Umtiti one day find all of his means? Barça's central defender has suffered recurring knees since the 2018 World Cup, for which he had "taken a risk", as he later recognized. Holder last Saturday in La Liga against Celta Vigo, but absent Tuesday against Atlético Madrid, the French international must stop again, his club announced on Friday.
Umtiti must undergo a "conservative treatment" in the left knee, according to the press release from Barça. The duration of his unavailability will depend on the progress of the injury.
