Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde says Samuel Umtiti is available for selection.

However Valverde was cautious when asked about the Frenchman on Friday.

“We think that Umtiti's ready to start. Vermaelen is out injured, Lenglet has a yellow to go to complete the cycle. We all know the ability Sam has. The situation is what it is and we will see what day it is when he plays," said Valverde ahead of meeting Sevilla.

Umtiti has not played since November and obviously isn't at 100 per cent match speed.
