Barcelona central defender Ronald Araujo will not be back in shape in time to be included in this weekend’s next La Liga clash against Atlético de Madrid.
The Blaugrana confirmed the nature and extent of the player’s injury in a statement last month after Araujo suffered a hamstring injury suffered in the Champions League win over Juventus.
The Uruguayan replaced the injured Gerard Piqué for the Turin clash, while Samuel Umtiti was also not available due to injury.
Now Diario AS details how the player continues to train alone and is not yet ready to be recalled to the first team squad.
Araujo has received the shirt with the number four in the Blaugrana club, which Ivan Rakitic left vacant after his departure to Sevilla this season, and is already a registered member of the club’s first team squad and not in B.
That stipulates a clause in his contract that doubles his existing release clause, as was a case similar to the dizzying release clause of teen star Ansu Fati following his promotion to the first team for this season.
Araujo, 21, moved to Camp Nou in the summer of 2017 from Boston River, which is based in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, for a fee of 1.7 million euros and has played eight league games. with the club.
The defender’s current contract at the club runs through the summer of 2023.
