Samuel Umtiti now has a date for his return from a knee injury

French centre-back Samuel Umtiti is completing his recovery from injury and a return is around the corner

Samuel Umtiti's recovery from his knee injury has wind in its sails. The player now has a date for returning to train with the group - Monday October 10.

It can't be ruled out that on Thursday this week he might train with the group for a few minutes, but on Monday he is set to rejoin fully, provided there are no set-backs before then.

Umtiti has been working with Juanjo Brau for over a week and there have been no problems with his work load, with an without the ball. His recovery is going well and he hopes to start against Deportivo de la Coruna on October 15.
