Samuel Umtiti missed out on the France - Albania game yesterday, due to an injury he picked up at the last minute in his right foot, as confirmed by the French team doctor. The Barcelona defender, who was called up after Aymeric Laporte was injured, was also unable to train with the France squad today, Sunday, and has left the French camp to return home.

Barcelona's next match is against Valencia at home on 14 September. Luis Suárez is set to return for that match.
