Clement Lenglet out of Barcelona’s clash with Leganes due to calf injury

Barcelona have suffered yet another injury blow with centre-back Clement Lenglet ruled out of Saturday’s clash with Leganes due to a calf problem.

The defender played 90 minutes of both of France’s Euro 2020 qualifiers against Albania and Moldova but has been “ruled with a calf injury picked up on international duty.”

Lenglet’s absence means it’s likely that Samuel Umtiti will partner Gerard Pique in the centre of defence, although Jean-Clair Todibo and Ronald Araujo are also in the squad.
