Samuel Umtiti, with the hard challenge to oust to Clément Lenglet

The drop of Samuel Umtiti was 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. Thus, his turn is key to litigate by all the titles.

This week, the central French has made part of the train with the group and in brief reevaluará the state of his knee, that suffers an injury in the cartilage that keeps him under threat to have to go through the operating theatre. However, it seems that it evolves favorablemente and that it could return prompt to the terrains of game.

In the moment in which it go back, the central French will not have easy to go back to the titularity as if at all. Clément Lenglet, recent signing culé that arrived to the Barcelona team the past pertinent season of the Seville, is surrendering to a very high level, giving solidity and serenity to the saga beside Gerard Hammered that it also has improved a lot with regard to the initial stretch of campaign.

Lenglet Does not have desaprovechado the opportunity that has had -in front of the injuries of Thomas Vermaelen and of the own Umtiti- to show him to Ernesto Valverde that is prepared to be the central headline of the team. The central of Beauvais every time is more settled in the eleven of gala of the Txingurri and progresses very properly.

Samuel Umtiti will have to use all its skill to recover the place once surpass the physical problems of his knee. The past season, the defence culé, in front of the fault of competition in his place, relaxed and had a bajón important of performance that noticed in crucial duels like the one of the Rome in Champions League.

This campaign, the frank-Cameroonian will not be able to relax, since has stepping him the heels to a Lenglet very solid that seems that it carry years playing of head office in the FC Barcelona. Whatever happens, Valverde will have a cast of head offices of first level when the lesionados go back.
