Samuel Umtiti is recovered of his physical problems since some weeks ago, and doesn't arrive to the Mallorca-Barça in the best physical conditions. Will put him Setién in the XI?

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Quique Setién will have to take some risky decision to the hour to make the first eleven headline of the FC Barcelona after three months without playing. This Saturday 13 June, the culés visit Are Moix with reason of the day 28 of LaLiga Santander 2019-20, and will have to do it with the absences of Ousmane Dembélé, by injury, and of Clément Lenglet by sanction.

This will force to the Barcelona technician to summon to Gerard Hammered, Samuel Umtiti and Ronald Araújo, young and promising central of the filial. The Uruguayan could be of the initial game like companion of Hammered in the case that Setién leave in the bench to Umtiti, taking into account that the French finish to surpass the injury in the sóleo of the right leg that suffered at the beginning of May.

The Frenchman does not arrive in plenitud of physical conditions and, to force more than the account, could risk seriously to a relapse in the injury. It fits to stand out, by against, that practically any footballer of the staff finds in plenitud physical after so much time without contesting an official party. It will be a proof of fire for all those that play, and of course for an Umtiti that has showed to be very liable to the injuries in the two last years.

The defender 'bleu' has suffered a good quantity of ailments, some of them of gravity, that have separated him of the terrains of game during months. Now, Setién expects to recover him for the cause and it will be necessary to see if it ranges him or no in the eleven headline in Sound Moix. Another hándicap is that Umtiti is apercibido, and if it receives a yellow cardboard will lose by sanction the next day, in front of the Leganés in the Camp Nou. For said commitment, this yes, Quique Setién already will be able to have of the presence of Clément Lenglet.

Umtiti Already has lesionado thrice this season

Before the stop of the football by fault of the coronavirus, Umtiti had been headline with the Barça in four of the last six meetings contested, resting only in the last duel in front of the Real Sociedad. The injuries have gone back to be his main heel of Achilles this season. Sum three since it started the course: a contusión in the right foot in September that kept him of drop something more than a month; a new contusión in the left knee kept him in the dam dry several weeks more between October and principles of November; and, it does some weeks, the injury in the sóleo during the month of May.

The footballer, in any case, feels prepared to go back to play to the highest level and wish to be headline like companion of Gerard Hammered in Mallorca. If there is luck, no only no lesionará but it could go out reinforced physical and anímicamente. Quique Setién, was as it was, knows that it can not save any letter in this final stretch of campaign 2019-20.
