After suffering an injury with a fractured metatarsal bone, Barca centre-back Umtiti's season can be said to have ended early, as he needs about 3 months to recover from his injury.
Since the end of the 2018 World Cup, Umtiti has played just 50 games in barca's three and a half seasons, with a total of 3,501 minutes. Umtiti has missed 64 games due to knee injuries, muscle injuries, stomach problems and two COVID-19 infections, and it looks like the number of games he misses will continue to increase.
In world football, it is difficult to find a player like Umtiti who paid such a heavy price for the World Cup. Ahead of the 2018 World Cup, in order to avoid missing out on a very important event in his life, Umtiti turned down a proposal from Barca's medical department. But, now it seems, the price he paid was too high.
