Calendar of FC Barcelona

Samuel Umtiti is one of the big news of the turn of the FC Barcelona to the trainings, and again by the wrong reasons. After several months of confinement, the Catalans celebrated his return to the Sportive City, but in the second day, the one of Yaundé fell lesionado. His mishap in the sóleo of the leg does not seem too grave, but taking into account his file, is another discontent. And already they go...

The history of the French is painful for all because the central turned into the best of the world in the Camp Nou. In 2016, it arrived without doing noise of the Olympique of Lyon, like a bet of 25 million euros that even Jean-Michel Classrooms recognises that it went out too cheap. The problem is that the one who aimed to durable reference has gone diluting for risking too much and 'shatter' his physicist.

In his two first seasons, the defender showed to be the ideal couple for Gerard Hammered. Since it went Carles Puyol, the axis of the retaguardia has been a sea of doubts for the sportive direction, that has added a sinfín of names to the diary and has gone testing options without too much continuity. After adapting immediately, the Frenchman aimed to legend by character, qualities and age until all twisted .

In the campaign 2017-18, the youngster admitted that his knees were warning him, but tightened to triumph with the Barça and win the World-wide of Russia. Didier Deschamps him dosificó what could, but in this moment already saw that it went to the limit and afterwards had to face the consequences. The defence 'bleu' explained in some interviews that no arrepentía of the done, but perhaps his is not the best example of how act.

In the past course, the regularity abandoned to Umtiti, scared by an operating theatre that could have him contributed solutions. Ones say that a previous operation left him marked, others that preferred not stopping so much time and others that did not offer him guarantees of recovery. The case is that it bet by a conservative treatment that it was the worst way, because it had him five months in the dry dam and has not allowed him be the same.

The result is of leftovers known, and is that in two years, 'Sam' hardly has contested 31 parties. Ernesto Valverde tried it and only lasted him 15 commitments, for a total of 1.268 minutes. The titularity, fortunately, assumed it without setbacks Clément Lenglet, but his compatriot has not improved too much and in spite of the insistence of Quique Setién, in what it goes of course has added other 16 meetings with altibajos.

The Barça expects to Umtiti

With his destination aiming to the market of signings, the Barça expects to Umtiti for the resumption of LaLiga. His presence is more important of what seems, because with Lenglet sanctioned, only remains Ronald Araújo like alternative. The Uruguayan Is consolidating like likely bet for the first team, because the pulse for the renewal of Samuel arrived just before a physical explosion. The Manchester United presionó and the French left want to, what guaranteeed him a wage of eight million clean euros, that now... Neither they can sustain.
