Samuel Umtiti's recovery from knee surgery took a big step in the right direction this week as he resumed light training away from the rest of the Barcelona squad.
Umtiti has been out of action since November as a recurring knee injury forced him to undergo vital surgery on his left knee. He returned to Barcelona at the end of December following treatment in Qatar.
On Thursday, Barcelona revealed via their official website that Umtiti was back on the grass at the Ciutat Esportiva, beginning gentle exercises as he fights to return to action in the near future.
