Samuel Umtiti will be ready to play for Barcelona in Wednesday night's Copa del Rey Clasico against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, having come through his first match in three months with no setbacks.
Umtiti played the full 90 minutes against Sevilla on Saturday, nearly three months to the day since his last appearance for the club – and almost a full five months since the game before that, after being dogged by a persistent knee injury.

The France international underwent 'conservative' treatment on the issue for a number of months, with some at the club pushing for him to undergo surgery to ensure a full recovery and clear timescale.
