Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti has returned to the first-team squad for the first time since June for tonight’s Champions League clash against Juventus following a knee injury.
The Frenchman has not taken to the field for the Blaugrana since the draw at Celta Vigo last season on 27 June, with his last appearance in a matchday squad coming three days later in the draw against Atletico Madrid.
Umtiti has not been available for selection at all since Ronald Koeman’s summer appointment in the hotseat at the Camp Nou but he now appears likely to feature against Juve after being included in the squad.
