Barcelona defender without Samuel Umtiti

Samuel Umtiti will not play for Barcelona in the next six weeks because of a toe injury he suffered to the French national team.

The 25-year-old center back underwent medical tests after returning from his international assignment Monday (September 9). But Barca have to do several more tests to truly reveal the level of injury he suffered.

Together with Umtiti, who will be gone for more than a month, as revealed by Marca, Ernesto Valverde can only rely on Gérard Pique, Clément Lenglet and Jean-Clair Todibo, who have no experience in the middle of the game. back line.

If Umtiti will be gone for more than a month, Barca will welcome Luis Suarez this weekend. According to rumors, the Uruguayan star will play Sunday against Valencia (15/9).


The team that defeated Barcelona in last year's Copa del Rey final will travel to Camp Nou after only scoring four points in their first three league games this season.

Suarez has actually started in the opening match of the Blaugrana this season against Athletic Bilbao. But he only played 37 minutes because of a natural calf problem.

The striker has been absent since, where he did not take part in Real Betis Barcelona's victory and drew 2-2 against Osasuna before the international break. However, in this weekend's game, Suarez will return to the Valverde team and the 32-year-old is also included in the list of players to be deployed.

Messi will not be strengthened by Lionel Messi, who has not yet recovered and trained individually. Unfortunately, Messi will probably miss the first Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund next week.

In addition, there is also Ousmane Dembele who still has to be absent due to hamstring problems. Even the Frenchman was eliminated from the match this weekend and against Dortmund next week.
