Umtiti will have to partner Pique in next week's league game

Barcelona keep on losing players. For next week's trip to La Liga, coach Quique Setien will be without one of his defenders, who will be suspended. 

The French centre-back Clement Lenglet picked up his fifth booking for the season in the 15th minute of Saturday's league game against Real Sociedad, which means he has to serve a one-game ban. 

Setien will have to turn to Lenglet's compatriot Samuel Umtiti for the game. Umtiti has been booked four times this season and will also be suspended next time he's cautioned. 

Umtiti started the last two games -- against Napoli and Real Madrid -- as Setien continue to alternate between the two French internationals. 

Gerard Pique remains a given on the right side of the centre-back pairing and next week the Catalan will be partnered by Umtiti, with Barça B defender Araujo likely to be on the bench.
