The great forgotten: This is the situation of Umtiti at FC Barcelona

These last days has remained reflected the important problem that has the FC Barcelona in the central axis of his defence in a worrisome effect dominated that it produced when Gerard Hammered was expelled in the party of Champions League against the Ferencváros. The Catalan was low ploughs the party against the Juventus and Ronald Araújo, that went his relief in Turín, finish lesionado.

The central Uruguayan lesionó in the same zone that Philippe Coutinho, this damned biceps femoral that, as in the case of the mediapunta carioca, will have him separated of the terrains of game during a month. A misfortune for a player that had the opportunity to claim and also for Ronald Koeman, that now finds in a situation of important aprietos to cover the saga.

So much against the Juventus in Turín as against the Sportive Alavés in Vitoria, Ronald Koeman opted for delaying the position of Frenkie of Jong to have in the axis of the defence to a player with tactical intelligence and with big exit of balloon, but this also incumbe lose to the that had to be the compass of his centre of the field. It is here where opens a small door for Samuel Umtiti.

The French defence did not explain for Ronald Koeman when the Dutch technician arrived to the bench of the FC Barcelona, but finally the club was not able to give him exit. Samuel Umtiti finish remaining in the Barcelona team but by fault of his constant physical problems in the knee still has not been able to play, but this week already could train although it still did not go in in the list of summoned.

With Ronald Araújo out of fight, Gerard Hammered and Clément Lenglet are the two only central to disposal of Ronald Koeman. If Samuel Umtiti finish receiving the high próximamente, would have possibilities to play if it concretises the drop of one of the headlines, although it also would be necessary to see if the Dutch trainer would give him the alternative to 'big Sam' or if finally it would follow betting by Frenkie of Jong like defence.

Samuel Umtiti has it complicated

The 12 million annual euros that the club has to disburse with the wage of Samuel Umtiti do that his situation keep on being of transferible. But this scandalous figure also will frighten off to possible buyers in January, since anybody will risk to do such economic bet by a player with a chronic problem in the knee. It is thus that, having of him in the staff​, Ronald Koeman could give him the alternative in case of need. This yes, if the frank-Cameroonian wants to have continuity, will have to offer an upper performance to the that offers from 2019.
