The knee of the central French has been concerning a lot to the FC Barcelona and to the own player, that did not have the opportunity to be headline from 24 November of the past year. In that occasion, the '23' culé also played of start in front of the Athletic of Madrid curiously also after reappearing of his injury, the same of which recayó after the party contested in Wanda Metropolitan.
It is true that Umtiti already was present in the last announcement of the FC relative Barcelona to the duel of gone of the eighth of final of the Champions League but, in this party in front of the Olympique of Lyon -curiously the team that formed him and that finish him selling to the culés- was in the bench and finally did not play neither an alone minute.
Nevertheless, now the frank-Cameroonian already is ready. It warned it the Txingurri in press conference and fulfilled with his titularity. After lesionarse, Umtiti did not want to operate and opted pro a conservative treatment that allowed him go back to play in the present season. If no recae as it happened him in November, the played will have gone out him well, since it seems to have recovered the place.
With Umtiti, Lenglet to the bench
The another expensive of the coin in the party against the Seville was Clément Lenglet, that lost the place like titling in front of his compatriot. This Saturday touched him return to which went his house during a year and half, but the ex sevillista could not be headline in front of his previous team.

To Lenglet will touch him follow rowing to take advantage of his opportunities and it will be necessary to see if it achieves to recover the place of face to the next crucial parties.
