Calendar of FC Barcelona

While 13 players of the first team of the FC Barcelona find concentrated with his selections and others -as Jordi Alba, Nélson Semedo or Ivan Rakitic- keep in the dry dam by injury, the rest of the available follow training to the orders of Ernesto Valverde and this Wednesday have played a friendly party against the Cartagena.

Only seven players of the first team -Net Walled, Gerard Hammered, Ousmane Dembélé, Carles Aleñá, Sergi Roberto, Junior Firpo and Carles Pérez- went in in the list of summoned for cartagena, of the same way that some canteranos -as Riqui Puig, Ronald Araújo or Álex Hill- to which follows them the track in seen to his possible paper in the first team.

But it gave an odd absence to the hour that suspicious: the one of Samuel Umtiti.

Since, Umtiti hardly has been able to have continuity. The French has lost numerous announcements and has been separated of the titularity by Clément Lenglet, that has finish him removing the place at the side of Gerard Hammered.
