Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo’s return to action was abruptly halted after he sustained an injury during Sunday’s La Liga match against Sevilla.
Araujo, who had only recently made his comeback after a 181-day absence due to a serious hamstring injury, was forced to leave the pitch and was replaced by Pau Cubarsí.
The Uruguayan’s initial injury occurred while on international duty last summer, and after a promising return in January, he had managed to play just seven matches before facing this new setback.
While the exact details of the injury’s nature and severity remain unknown, Araujo’s early departure from the game raises concerns for both manager Hansi Flick and Barcelona supporters.
In a recent statement, Araujo expressed his desire to stay at Barcelona for many more years, but this injury is now a major setback for the club’s defensive plans.
