Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti hopes his injury nigthmare is over and that he's back on the pitch in the very near future. 

Umtiti wants to leave behind the knee injury which has plagued him all season and has ruled him out of action since November. 

"I'm good and it's not long now until I can play," the French international said in an interview with RAC1. "It's all going well. I am about to come back. 

"Now there are lots of important games, in La Liga the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. I want to help the team." 

Umtiti trained again on Friday and hopes to be in the squad against ex-team Lyon on Tuesday. Before then, Barça face Real Valladolid on Saturday.
