Samuel Umtiti leaves pitch in tears, now totals 16 injuries in 6 years
The Barcelona loanee Samuel Umtiti has suffered another setback during the Lecce v Verona encounter on Saturday. The Frenchman was forced off the field in the 72nd minute after sustaining a shoulder injury.
The centre-back left Camp Nou last summer, joining Italian minnow on loan with no option to buy, and grew into a regular with time.
The injury was a disheartening sight as Umtiti walked off the pitch in tears, which could mean it's a serious one. The 29-year-old footballer will undergo tests to determine the extent of his injury shortly, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.
The French footballer now totals 16 injuries in 6 years. That's not exactly the stat any footballer would want to excel at.
