Calendar of FC Barcelona

It does something more than two weeks Ernesto Valverde received one of the most expected news by the technician of the Barça and by the barcelonismo in general: Samuel Umtiti at last was recovered of his injury. The French carried lesionado from the past month of November and his turn was an incógnita, but to day of today already is one more in the discipline culé.

The ex of the Olympique of Lyon went back to the terrains of game in Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán two weeks ago. It did not go his best party with the elastic Barcelona, but was more than correct. Had a pair of childish errors and saw him lacking of rhythm, but at all odd taking into account that it did not play from November.

In the Classical against the Real Madrid did not play neither an alone minute and Lenglet was the central chosen by the 'Txingurri' in both crashes. The ex sevillista has won the place to base of good performances and seems complicated that Umtiti remove it to him in the weeks to come. But the ex of the Olympique goes to try it with all what has and in front of the Ray Vallecano will have an only opportunity to convince to his trainer.

Lenglet Is sanctioned and could not contest the party, with what the place will be for the Frenchman, that will form couple beside Gerard Hammered. It will be a good proof for the left-handed, since the Ray has up to one of the feelings of this League Santander. Raúl of Tomás, yielded by the Real Madrid, carries ten goals this season and is calling the attention of several big teams. The forward is very dangerous with spaces and Umtiti will have to show that it is physically qualified to defend to a player of his characteristics.

Although it seems complicated, is very likely that the idea to be headline against the Olympique in Champions go through the head of the international French. It is the team in which it did player of football and would be a very special meeting for him. If against the Ray did a perfect crash and showed that it has left backwards the injury and the period of inactivity, is possible that have some option to go in in the eleven of Valverde for this party.

Lenglet Has advantage

But although it was of matrícula of honour and was the best of the Barcelona against the ones of Vallecas, keeps on being much more likely that the headline against the Lyon was Clément Lenglet. The ex sevillista carries months showing his good state of form, understands very well with Hammered and has won the confidence of the ex trainer of the Athletic. If all goes normal, will go in in the eleven of Champions, but Umtiti still expects to have something that say.
