Ronald Araujo has made a significant step in his recovery from injury by returning to full training with Barcelona on Sunday. The Uruguayan defender has not been featured in the club this season after undergoing surgery for an injury sustained during the Copa America. His recovery has been closely monitored, and Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has confirmed that Araujo will return to group training this weekend.
Araujo’s potential return to match action before the end of the year is now within reach, with the current expectation being that he could make his comeback in Barcelona’s La Liga match against Leganes on December 15 at Montjuic.
Until then, Flick will have to navigate several important fixtures without Araujo. Barcelona will face Las Palmas, Real Mallorca, and Real Betis in La Liga, alongside Champions League matches against Brest and Borussia Dortmund.
Araujo’s eventual return is expected to provide a significant boost to Barcelona’s defense, and it will be interesting to see how Flick incorporates the defender back into the squad once he is fully fit.
