The Barça and Umtiti already would have concerted a key meeting to define his future

Ernesto Valverde underlined again the past summer that wanted four head offices of maximum guarantees to face the season, and in hardly some months, the account has gone down to three. Samuel Umtiti follows of drop by the annoyances in his knee, and the FC Barcelona keeps waiting to take measures. In some days will touch to resolve definitively the case of the international French.

After going back of a World-wide in which it also was between cottons, the one of Yaundé faced some brief holidays and started the campaign with the Catalan group. It played six parties of LaLiga and one of Champions and had to stop, because the annoyances in his articulation did not cease. Two months and a conservative treatment afterwards, the crack reappeared against the Athletic of Madrid, in what hardly it was a mirage because hours later went back to the list of lesionados.

There was then several contacts with the medical services culés, that respected his decision of not going through the operating theatre and accepted that it played it to him with a last letter. The defender was to visit to a specialist in Doha (Qatar), and after some weeks in the centre Aspetar, the next could finish east another procedure. 

Like this, in spite of that it has not concretised an exact date -there are some informations that contradict when situating it- several means ensure that before the day 30 December there will be a key meeting between Umtiti and the Barça. In her it will evaluate again as it is the left knee and will put on the table all the ways to be followed.

It is to expect that the player keep his voluntar to happen another proof in a party of maximum level, but if recae, the operation would be practically unavoidable. It would suppose between three and four months of drop, what would certify the goodbye to the season. This yes, if the defence resists, the cautions will be maximum, and will go controlling periodically how evolves his state.

The possible solutions to the case Umtiti

In the supposed that Samuel Umtiti have to subject to a surgical intervention (arthroscopy), the Barça still will have to confront to another election. Home they are Thomas Vermaelen and the quarry (with the Chumi, Cuenca or Mingueza), but also is possible to attend to the market of signings. Each option has his pros and his contras, but in this occasion it will be necessary to resolve them once and for all.
