Yumtiti returns

Defender Samuel Umtiti is ready to return to Barcelona after 7 weeks of absence. The French national received a right-hip muscle injury on December 2 with a 2-2 draw against Celta (Vigo) and has not played since.

Umtiti was included in the group of Catalans for the visit to Betis tonight. He was replaced in the lead by Thomas Vermelen, and Barca remained a convincing leader in La Liga.
