He played really well today and there's no reason to think he was "finished" and utter bullshift like that.
He is most definitely a much better defender compared to Lenglet, so I see no reason not to get his post back the soonest.
Alas, injuries are part of the game, and none of us actually have a clue if his knee wasn't fine. Anyway recently he had a broken toe which is common, heals without reminiscence and I've seen dozens of great players returning from even more serious injuries, and even playing much better than before after a considerably long gap.

Great header. Decent game, a bit rusty with his passing, but not bad.

I didn't say he was finished but going by his last year where he couldn't stay fit and had some really questionable matches, I am reluctant about his ability to regain his previous form for us. I am a fan of his and even took his part when others said that Lenglet is better and that we won't miss Umtiti going forward. People really suffer from recency bias and often forget that Umtiti held the fort down in large parts in his first 2 years here and was a world champion with crucial contributions.
I really, really hope he is over his injuries so he would regain his place. Would make our defense a lot more solid.

You can judge him only when he plays, specially a full game. Take it as a friendly.

I must have been watching a different game. French Yerry Mina was a massive liability out there, Tods is a far better option at this point.
Mark my words - we face a good opponent with Umtits and it will cost us.

At this point, he is only as good as a third/fourth CB when he is not injured which won't last long.

Yep.
"[Florent Torchut] Samuel Umtiti still struggling with left knee problems. He is out of the squad for the Barça game against Slavia Prague tomorrow, as he got a bruised knee this morning and feels uneasy. No risk taking from the club and an unknown downtime."
