Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti will be out for three weeks with a left thigh injury sustained when training with France, the Spanish club said Thursday.

The 22-year-old has been replaced by Eliaquim Mangala in the French team for the 2018 World Cup qualifier against Sweden in Paris Friday.

He will also miss next week's friendly against Ivory Coast in Lens and is unlikely to play in the 'Clasico' against Real Madrid at Camp Nou on December 3.
