Barcelona anticipates having Ronald Araujo return to action after the upcoming international break in November, according to a recent report from Mundo Deportivo. In the UEFA Champions League match against Brest three days later, or against Celta Vigo on November 23, the team is hoping he will be healthy enough to play a few minutes.
Araujo sustained a serious injury on July 7, and since then, his recovery has been meticulously monitored. Surgery was necessary when he tore his right hamstring during the Copa America quarterfinals. Although this injury kept him out of commission for a long time, there is now hope as he gets closer to getting better.
Ronald Araujo is working hard to return
According to Mundo Deportivo, Ronald Araujo, another key player, may be able to return to action in the upcoming weeks. He posted some pictures of himself practicing on the field for the first time since his injury. After the upcoming international break, Barcelona anticipates having the Uruguayan back in the lineup.
The defender may make his comeback on the field on November 23 in Barcelona vs. Celta Vigo’s La Liga encounter. Three days later, at the Montjuic, he could play a few minutes in the UCL match against Stade Brestois if he is not ready by then.
One of the motivating statements from the defender in the pictures that Araujo shared on social media read, “With faith, there are no insurmountable obstacles, only steps towards God’s promise.” As he recovers from his injury, the center-back will only be able to watch from the sidelines as Barcelona takes on some tough opponents in Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
