Valverde is insane to let him play 90 mins, first match back, sevilla away.

Glad to have him back, I also think he played way to many minutes for his first game. But they now better I suppose...

He is back! We can only hope that his knee will be ok.

Guess we will have to wait until he gets a few more games in to truly see if his pain has gone away.

If it is great! if not that's not good news as the conservative treatment didn't work.

Hah. He is not 100%. Lenglet should start over him.

Sam be patient and make yourself ready for Lyon. Clasico is coming too early.

Please don't rush him back into it. We just need him to stay healthy until the summer and then we can dupe a club like United into spending 80-90m for him

Yeah I wouldn't want to risk him for El Clasico. Let him play vs Girona for the Catalan Supercup next Wednesday

The Doctors recommended him to slim down in weight to reduce the load on his knees in order to recover from his injuries. He lost a total of 2-3 Kilos in weight since November.

Is it pounds or kilos?
Anyways not sure why the club or Valverde is rushing to play him when it's obvious that he is not match fit.
It wasn't like Lenglet was bad and we missed Umtiti a lot.

Not sure myself why Valverde always wants to rush him back in.

With Arthur, Dembele etc he seemed to be willing to not rush them back as quick which is fine but with Umtiti it seems he wants him back as quickly as possible even though Lenglet has been fine for the most part. I mean I get Umtiti is good but sometimes it's better just not to rush it.

Umtiti was absolutely sensational and arguably was the best CB in the world before the injury. An interesting stat is that we won 89% of La Liga games with Umtiti and 53% of the 19 games he didnt play.
