Can Umtiti and Dembélé be an important part of the Barça of Koeman?

One of the big aims of the Barcelona for this market of signings was to undo of players that did not have space in the approach of Ronald Koeman, new trainer of the club. Luis Suárez, Rakitic or Vidal were those who understood that they did not go to be important in the approach of the Dutch, but Dembélé and Umtiti denied to leave and now the trainer will have to look for them a place.

Ousmane Dembélé And Samuel Umtiti have decided to remain in the Camp Nou although, until the moment, do not seem to have opportunities to show his level in the club. Both players, that have stood out in the two last campaigns by his long and complicated injuries, had an opportunity of gold to achieve minutes in another club and help to the Barça in the economic part (and like this went able of fichar to Depay or Eric García), but did not accept the conditions that posed them and decided to remain.

In the case of the forward, that had offer of the Manchester United, did not accept to leave in quality of loan. Dembelé, that has contested 75 parties in four seasons like culé, is surpassed by players like Messi, Ansu Fati or Griezmann and is complicated that it find space in the leading blaugrana. In the Old Trafford would have had the opportunity to recover his level.

The two last campaigns of Dembélé in the Barça, by which paid to the Dortmund 105 millions more 40 in variables, have been marked by his constant problems in the cartilage of his left knee, but especially by his fault of sportive ambition and discipline. From arriving late to the trainings to not struggling by a place, the French has turned into one of the main disappointments of the club.

In the case of Samuel Umtiti, that arrived to the club in the 2016 like one of the big disclosures of the Olympique of Lyon, his injuries were a limitante for the teams that interested in him. The international with the French selection suffers from does several years of problems in his left knee but never has operated .

The Rome, the Rennes and the Lyon wanted his index card but his big requirements braked the negotiations. As it revealed Jean-Michel Classrooms, president of the Lyon, his club descartó the incorporation of the central French by the quantity of money that asked the Barça and the doubts on his physical state. And it is that the injuries only have allowed him play 116 parties in five seasons, 18 meetings in the last course.

Koeman Has a big problem

The refusal of the French to go out supposes a problem for the Dutch technician. His approach begins to be more than clear-cut and seems that it will be fixed for the rest of the season. With Dembélé, that played in the victory blaugrana 4-0 in front of the Villarreal afterwards of ten months of inactivity, is a bit easier for Koeman. As it did it in the première suspender belt, can rotar to the forwards in the last chamber of hour.

However, the level of quality that reach in the weeks to come will be determinant for his return to the titularity. If it continues arriving late to the trainings and does not show potential in the field, of sure Koeman will not take it in account. It will depend, largely, of the player go back to form part of the team.

With Umtiti the stage complicates . The defence continues in recovery and his return to the team seems that it goes to take time. It is the fourth head office and the competition is very hard. Besides, the level of Ronald Araújo will turn it into an option more than important, in case that Gerard Hammered and Clément Lenglet are not available, as in the party in front of the Seville, when the central French was admonished.
