The FC Barcelona​ returned to the trainings this past Friday after almost two months of quarantine. The footballers trained of one in one of individual form and without having contact with the rest of his mates to avoid contagions. The turn to the work was calm to avoid injuries after long without stepping a field of football, but not even like this has avoided the first official drop of the staff.

The group barcelonista has announced this Saturday by means of an escueto communicated that Samuel Umtiti​ has lesionado in the sóleo and that his return will depend on his evolution. "Umtiti Has an injury in the sóleo of the right leg. His evolution will mark his availability for the next trainings", stood out the Barça in the writing that published in social networks and in his web page.

This injury goes back to put in doubt to the defender Frenchman, that carries two years being the shadow of what went by fault of the physical problems. The one of Yaoundé had during good part of the season happened the knee touched and this course also has had annoyances especially in the first-half of the campaign. In a moment in which his future is at stake, since the Barcelona wants to traspasarle this summer, this news could not be worse for him.

The leaders culés think that is better to bet by Clément Lenglet like value to short, half and long term. The ex of the Seville is two lower years that the ex of the Olympique of Lyon (24 and 26) and never has had important problems of injuries. Besides, his past campaign was excellent and surrendered to the level of the best of the world. When both are in his beak of form, is true that Umtiti is upper, but the reality to day of today is that the one of Beauvais is more regulate in all the senses.

By this reason, that just after the confinement have happened this gives him reasons to the club to put in the market to 'Big Sam'. If it had happened him to any another player, perhaps would not be so remarkable because there are not precedents, but the frank-Cameroonian is suspicious usual from does too much. It will be necessary to see how long is of drop, but after the communiqué of the Barcelona does not seem that have something too grave.

Setién Trusts he, but the club wants to sell him

Until the stop, Quique Setién was trying to take out the best version of Umtiti and was having he so much or more than with Lenglet. The '23' was being headline with some assiduity and was improving his provision split to party. The santanderino has him a lot of faith and therefore he is convinced to remain in the Barça, but from the loge has lost him the confidence. By his well, the ideal would be that this injury did not separate him too much of the terrains of game, since will be giving more reasons to do without he.
