Barcelona fans celebrates on social media after the club confirmed their squad to take on French giants Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions League next week, and it looks like Samuel Umtiti may be about to make his long-awaited return from injury a move that got most fans excited ahead of the game.
The Blaugrana are set to take on the Ligue 1 outfit next week in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie, and the Spanish giants have a full strength squad to take on their opponents. All the usual suspects of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Ousmane Dembele and Gerard Pique have been included in the squad by manager Ernesto Valverde, however, there was also a space for former Lyon man Umtiti.
Umtiti has been out for quite a while due to injuries, but given the announcement of Barca’s squad, it looks like the defender could make his return from injury next week. Barcelona have seriously missed Umtiti this term, with the player only managing to clock up eight appearances in all competitions, something that is mainly down to the player’s injury troubles. Umtiti has been working against the club to be fit to face his former side Lyon in the Champions League and he has received the medical green light to play and will travel with the squad. After several months on the sidelines, he may not feature, but it is a welcome return following another injury to Thomas Vermaelen.
The full squad to travel to France for Tuesday's clash includes: Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Inaki Pena, Jokin Ezkieta; Nelson Semedo, Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet, Jeison Murillo, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Samuel Umtiti, Moussa Wague; Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Philippe Coutinho, Arturo Vidal, Carles Alena; Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi, Ousmane Dembele, Malcom and Kevin-Prince Boateng.
