Barça boss Valverde on Todibo's chances of filling in against Sevilla
Lenglet is suspended and Umtiti is injured for the league game
Barcelona face Sevilla on Sunday at Camp Nou with two centre-backs missing. Clement Lenglet is suspended and Samuel Umtiti is injured.
That means Jean Clair Todibo could make his first start of the season. So far in the current campaign he has only played for 15 minutes, away at Getafe.
He would be paired with Gerard Pique, himself a booking from a ban, and this is what Ernesto Valverde said of Todibo's chances of playing from the start.
"We have injured and suspended players and it's a clear possibility," the coach said. "Araujo from the B team will also train with us on Saturday. When there's a problem, they have a chance and they can prove themselves. It's a tough game and we will have that in mind."
Valverde described Todibo as "a powerful player with a lot of pace who is brave when bringing the ball out. We will see. It's been a while since he's played but when he has done he's shown his quality."
