[Barcaman]

FC Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti has been ruled out for three weeks with a thigh injury.

The 22-year-old defender suffered the injury while on international duty with France and will miss the World Cup Qualifier against Sweden on Friday.

Umtiti will also miss Barca's Liga clash with Malaga, their Champions League trip to Celtic and another hot trip to San Sebastian.

A short statement from Barca on Thursday said: "First team player Samuel Umtiti has a rupture to the femoral biceps muscle of his left thigh.
"This was determined following tests carried out on Thursday. The injury is expected to keep him out for approximately three weeks."

Looks like he could be injury prone. Good luck titi.

90% of our injuries this and last season are "hamstring". It seams to me we are doing something wrong...

God, I hate international break. I swear Barcelona has the worst luck.

Injured again , very disappointing thought this guy was the future.

How many players do we have on the treatment table now?. This is turning into a crisis.

Alba, Pique, Mathieu, Umtiti, Iniesta...not sure if Vidal has recovered. That is basically entire defense + Iniesta.

Not a crisis yet: Pique is back and he is an improvement compared to Umtiti.
Only Umtiti and Iniesta will (probably) not be back for El Clasico.
Pique, Alba, Mathieu, Vidal and Roberto will be back to play against Celtic, but some might miss the Malaga game.

Damn I look forward to see Pique and Umtiti.

This is an unfortunate news. Been having fan seeing him in action.

He will be a beast very short in the future, might be on bench for the Clasico, he's alright now.
