Samuel Umtiti has received this Friday the green light of the medical service of Barca after 5 weeks of absence due to injury.
Still, the former 25-year-old Lyon lost his place as a holder in Barca, as well as in the French team, following his numerous injuries in recent months. In both cases he was replaced by Clement Lenglet. This last foot injury was contracted during a training with the Blues. First qualified for a simple contusion, the Catalan club then pushed the exams and discovered that Utiiti was suffering from a fissure in a metatarsal requiring 5 to 6 weeks of rest.
Samuel Umtiti has missed the last four games of the Blues against Albania, Andorra, Iceland and Turkey. With Barca, he missed C1's matches against Dortmund and Inter Milan. Officially restored, he could challenge Slavia Prague on the third day of the C1 next Wednesday.
Last year, the central defender, who is also U20 World Champion (2013) and finalist at Euro 2016, suffered a left knee injury but did not want surgery. He then relapsed after a first comeback at the end of November 2018, only to return to the race in early 2019.
