Barcelona centre-back Samuel Umtiti is set to miss out on a number of pivotal fixtures coming up in the calendar, after failing to recover from the knee issues that have plagued him since the World Cup.
The Frenchman has been absent from the Blaugrana's last three matchday squads, as well as his country's for their Nations League clashes, and could be out for another month.
As reported by Marca, the 24-year-old was examined by doctors this morning at the Sant Joan Despi Hospital, and they confirmed he would be ineligible for Barca's games against Sevilla, Inter and the Classico against Real Madrid.
