Barcelona’s defender Ronald Araújo who was substituted in their recent La Liga game against Sevilla due to a bad-looking ankle injury is set to play this weekend as well. The injury is considered “not serious”. Despite earlier reports of 3/4 weeks out, the defender could be available to play this weekend.
Barcelona fans can breathe a sigh of relief as star defender Ronald Araújo is expected to be available for selection this weekend despite an injury scare against Sevilla. The Uruguayan center-back was forced off in the recent La Liga clash due to what initially appeared to be a serious ankle injury. Early reports suggested he could be sidelined for three to four weeks, raising concerns over his availability for crucial upcoming fixtures.
However, renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported via Instagram that Araújo’s injury is “not serious” and merely a bruise. This positive update means the 24-year-old could feature in Barcelona’s next match, providing a significant boost for Xavi’s squad.
Araújo’s quick recovery is excellent news for Barça, who rely heavily on his defensive strength and leadership. With the team pushing for consistency in La Liga and Europe, having their key defender fit and ready is a major advantage.
