"Barcelona" camp received very bad news - one of the best defenders this season in all of Europe, Samuel Umtiti, suffered an injury yesterday and will be forced to sit out until January. The 24-year-old footballer during the match against Celta Vigo tried to catch up with Iago Aspas, but the Frenchman soon grabbed his thigh and had to be substituted. It was revealed after the match that the defender suffered a hamstring injury. "Barca" stated on their official website that S. Umtiti will be out for about two months. Catalans, with S. Umtiti in charge, demonstrated excellent defensive play this season. The Frenchman had already played 18 matches. While Javier Mascherano is also recovering from an injury, the center-back duo will consist of Gerard Pique and Thomas Vermaelen.
