Samuel Umtiti has clear that it wants to avoid go through the operating theatre, something that would do him lose whole the current season. With a conservative treatment, wait be able to recover of face to the final stretch of the present campaign
In the present season, the FC Barcelona has lost to a so important footballer like Samuel Umtiti by an injury in the cartilage of his knee. The defence made a conservative treatment and achieved to go back to the terrains of game in the party of LaLiga Santander contested in Wanda Metropolitan against the Athletic of Madrid, but recayó.
These 90 minutes of requirement were sufficient as so that the knee of Umtiti went back to say "suffice", by what follows in the dry dam since and his turn is not at all clear. Thus, the defence of the FC Barcelona initiated a second treatment, also of conservative type, in the the clinical Aspetar of Doha, in Qatar.
If the ailments in the knee of the central Frenchman do not improve, no descarta the operating theatre, an option that the player wants to avoid as it was. Operate would suppose him to Umtiti a time of drop of four to five months, something that would suppose that his season practically would have finish. Only it could be ready to contest the last month of competition.
Advised by the French Federation of Football (FFF), Umtiti went to Qatar to treat to recover of the knee without need of a surgery. The option convinces to the footballer, since it would allow him be about to face at the beginning of 2019 if the treatment works, but would have caused a crash of opinions with the FC Barcelona.
According to some sectors of the press, in the club culé would have been adherents to carry out the operation of immediate form since it considers that, to his 25 years, more cost to lose him a season and have him to the one hundred by one hundred in the future that go delaying the operation and that Umtiti turn into a new 'case Thomas Vermaelen', with injuries too recurrent.
Lenglet, an alternative of level
The drop of Samuel Umtiti is a very important setback for the FC Barcelona. The central French is one of the big bastions in defence and, probably, also is the central that rather has surrendered in the Barcelona team during the last years. By the moment, Clément Lenglet is the attendant of suplirle and, for the moment, is showing very good level.
