Samuel Umtiti takes part in Barcelona training after injury

French central defender Samuel Umtiti has returned to training after three weeks out with knee trouble

French FC Barcelona centre-back Samuel Umtiti is one of the most notable changes to the training squad on Tuesday. He returned after three weeks out and will be ready to play against Deportivo de la Coruna on Saturday at Camp Nou (4.15pm). Luis Enrique is slowly recovering his men from the injury room. 

Umtiti was injured in training ahead of Atletico Madrid's visit to Barcelona, on September 20. He suffered a knee ligament problem in his left leg. His recovery objective was the Depor game and he will make it. He has missed four games for Barcelona - Atletic, Sporting, Borussia Monchengladbach and Celta Vigo - plus two with France.
