Emmanuel Petit spoke about Umtiti's testing moment at Camp Nou
Former Barcelona player Emmanuel Petit has spoken about Samuel Umtiti's situation at the Catalan club as he fights to win his place back from Clement Lenglet.
Injuries have derailed World Cup winner Umtiti's season but he is now fit again and scored during France's win over Iceland on Monday -- Lenglet's still not been called up to the Les Bleus squad.
Petit said: "Samuel needs to play more minutes so he can get back to his best. He suffered physically, so it's normal [he is not as his best] after such a long absence."
The former France international, a World Cup winner himself in 2000, added: "[Umtiti] know he's in a difficult situation for the national team and his club, where we've seen Lenglet step up in his absence."
