Samuel Umtiti was supposed to be back to running this week, but instead, he won’t get there until next week, according to Diario AS. The French defender has been out for a month with pain in his right knee. There is not an abundance of information direct from the club about the injury, although reports say that he is getting treated to heal damaged cartilage in his knee. This procedure has been a “relative success,” according to AS.
There is a possibility that the player may require surgery, but the club wants to avoid that if possible.
