Barcelona publish Samuel Umtiti medical statement
The French defender has a foot problem and will miss the weekend's game vs Valencia
Samuel Umtiti is one of the players affected by the FIFA virus during the international break. He suffered a foot injury during his time with the French national team - in a training session rather than in a game.
Umtiti did not play against Albania, a game which France won 4-1 on their way to Euro 2020 qualification.
With Umtiti injured - and Barca did not specify a return time - Ernesto Valverde has only three centre-backs.
Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet, the first-choice duo, and Jean-Clair Todibo.
If needed, Jorge Cuenca from the B team can step up and play a part.
