Umtiti back to full fitness would be the best that could happen to Barca's defensive woes given that the club has no money to buy a quality defender. Big Sam was a beast in his (Barca) prime and him and Araujo could form a physically threatening central defence. However, I fail to believe Umtiti could be anything close to his prime. There were reports early 2021 that he is in an impressive physical state too. We all know how it ended. Muscular? Yes. Quick? No way.
We might get an impression on his state against RBS tomorrow. They'll be more demanding for the defenders than previous opponents were.
