Setién summons 24 footballers and recovers Umtiti

Few news on Setien's list for the game against Athletic Bilbao (22 hours) this Tuesday at the Camp Nou. The Cantabrian coach recovers the central Samuel Umtiti, after missing the game in Seville to be sanctioned, and calls at the last minute to the right-back of the subsidiary, Dani Morer, after verifying that Sergi Roberto has not yet recovered from his costal fissure, and at Jorge Cuenca plant. The Dutch midfielder, Frenkie de Jong, also repeats absence in the call, after confirming that he suffers a break in the soleus of the right leg, he will miss a minimum of four games.

While in defense the drawing seems practically sung, with Semedo and Alba on the sides, and Piqué and Lenglet, on the central axis, more doubts are emerging in the midfield, especially because the loss of De Jong leaves an important gap in the medullary. Against Sevilla, the Cantabrian coach relegated Arthur and opted for Rakitic. We will see which Athletic is the one chosen, bearing in mind that Sergio Busquets and Arturo Vidal seem immovable today.

In attack, Setién could launch an offensive trident from the start, with Messi flanked by Luis Suárez and Antoine Griezmann. It must be remembered that in the first two post-confinement games (Mallorca and Leganés) it was the Uruguayan striker who started on the bench, while against Sevilla the sacrificed was the French attacker.

Setién summons 24 footballers, so one will have to be ruled out in the hours before the match against Athletic at the Camp Nou.

The complete list of players for this Tuesday's match against Athletic is: Ter Stegen, Net, Semedo, Pique, Sunrise, Lenglet, Umtiti, Junior, Sergio Busquets, Vidal, Rakitic, Arthur, Braithwaite, Griezmann, Suarez, Messi, Fati, Riqui Puig, Araujo, Collado, Pain, Monchu, Cuenca and Morer.
