Samuel Umtiti back on the grass as he recovers from injury

Samuel Umtiti is training once again as he recovers from injury. He was diagnosed with a damaged knee ligament on September 20. 

The French defender trained alone but it is important that he is back working on the grass instead of just in the gym. 

Barcelona will be careful with him as they do not want the injury to recurr.

"It's the same as Leo [Messi], although obviously [Umtiti] is a bit further ahead with his recovery," said Luis Enrique.

"He's back training on the pitch. You'll see when he's ready to play again. It's always the same at the end of the recovery process, it's about a player getting back to full fitness and that's dependent on the individual."
