Umtiti, 'KO': Barça confirm another injury to the defense knee

Samuel Umtiti does not raise head and to his 26 years gives the feeling that his stage in the elite already has touched to his end. The central, that seemed to have improved something after the stop by the coronavirus, has returned worse of what went and so alone has contested two parties since it went back LaLiga. The injuries and his bad moment of form had marked this reinicio, but his problems seems that they have not done more than beginning. The FC Barcelona​ has confirmed this Friday that the defender goes back to be 'KO'.

The group barcelonista published a communiqué in which it announced that the defender will be drop this weekend against the Villarreal. The culés visit to one of the teams more in shape of the competition playing the championship and the frank-Cameroonian will see it by television. Although all drop by injury always is harmful, in this case was almost impossible that Quique Setién had Umtiti for a commitment to life or died like this. Clément Lenglet and Gerard Hammered will defend put it of Ter Stegen in Castellón.

In the brief text that has facilitated the Barcelona explain what happens him to the central. It seems that 'Big Sam' has some "annoyances in the left knee and will follow a conservative treatment". In other words it does not go to have to go through operating theatre, at least by the moment, something very positive taking into account his antecedents. The player, as it leaves clear the Barça in his communiqué, will not return to the terrains of game until being in shape. "It is drop and his evolution will mark his availability", prays the writing.

Since the Barça played in Mallorca his first crash after the confinement, the international 'bleu' only has played two meetings. The first was in front of the Leganés, in which it played so alone 17 minutes, and the another was in Vigo, where split of start. Against the Celtic was of the most toneless of the group barcelonista and remained signalled by several actions like the one of the goal of Smolov. It saw him slow, absent-minded and very descolocado every time that it had to go out of his position.

After this bad performance, remained very clear that Lenglet was much better that he and that it had to be the headline beside Hammered. Perhaps therefore it did not play neither an alone minute in front of the Athletic of Madrid and was not foreseen that it played in Villarreal. Nevertheless, this inopportune injury will do that it was impossible to know if the Barcelona trainer went to explain or no with him. But it is necessary to say that play LaLiga with Umtiti in front of an equipazo like this 'Yellow Submarine' had been too imprudent.

It has lost already 11 parties by injury this season

The one of Yaoundé has lost by physical problems 11 parties in what it goes of course, less than the past, but too many for any head office that want to be between the best. His physicist keeps on being an incógnita and now not even the culé more optimistic imagines to Samuel going back to his previous level to his injury of knee. From the club also see it like this and could listen offers by him this summer. Everything will depend on how and when go back of this last injury that could have put end to his campaign in League.
