La Liga: Samuel Umtiti, Januzaj ruled out with injury

MADRID: FC Barcelona is likely to be without central defender Samuel Umtiti for the rest of the season after the French international began treatment to try and resolve ongoing problems with his left knee.

The club issued a brief communique explaining that Umtiti had started "a conservative treatment" on his knee, but didn't indicate how long he will be out, although the Spanish press speculate he could be sidelined for up to six weeks. It is thought that the medical staff at Barcelona would prefer Umtiti to have an operation to try and resolve the problems IANS
