We are talking about former Barcelona, Samuel Umtiti. The French defender, protagonist in Russia 2018, is currently experiencing a bleak present. After being a key player in both his club and his country, his football career was frustrated by the constant injuries he suffered.

After eliminating Lionel Messi and company and then winning the trophy, the defender suffered up to eight injuries that prevented him from continuing at FC Barcelona, where he performed at his best. After his bad streak with respect to injuries, the defender had to leave to look for an opportunity on another team.
