Talking points from Barcelona’s 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo

Related Topics: Celta de Vigo

Umtiti’s injury a big worry for Barca

The main talking point from the match has to be the horrible news that Samuel Umtiti will miss eight weeks with a hamstring injury.

It’s no exaggeration that Umtiti has been incredible for Barca this season and he will be hugely missed.

Javier Mascherano is also still out, although hopefully due back in the middle of this month, leaving Thomas Vermaelen and Gerard Pique as the only fit senior centre-backs.

Ernesto Valverde could turn to Barca B’s David Costas but Barca are certainly light in defence at the moment and looked really shaky defensively against Celta.
