Umtiti's physical condition may affect Koeman 3-5-2 formation ahead of PSG clash

Because of Samuel Umtiti's 'worrying physical condition', Ronald Koeman only counts on Oscar Mingueza and Clement Lenglet as the available centre-backs vs Paris Saint-Germain, Diario AS say.

This may force the coach to abandon the 3-5-2 formation that worked so well for Barcelona lately and use a formation with two centre-backs.

However, there's still a chance that Ronald Araujo will be called up for the game, it's claimed.

That will only happen if he completes the group training on Tuesday; he didn't train with the team on Monday, March 8.

As a reminder, Araujo had recovered from his ankle injury only to suffer a relapse in the 15 minutes he played against Sevilla.

As for Gerard Pique, there is no way for him to return in time for the game.
