Barcelona defender Umtiti suffers new injury blow

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti has suffered an injury blow.

Umtiti sustained a calf injury on his return to individual training, the Spanish La Liga club said in a statement on Saturday.

The 26-year-old French centre back has struggled with knee and foot problems in the last few seasons and Barca said there was no time frame for his return to training.

Football in Spain has been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic since March and the France defender was participating in just his second session as clubs tentatively prepare for a return to action.

Umtiti suffered a knee problem in October that kept him out for two weeks and suffered from a foot problem in September which kept him sidelined for a month.

Last season he had two knee injuries which sidelined him for five months.
