Barcelona’s defensive rock likely to return towards the end of the year – report | OneFootball

According to a recent update from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo is anticipated to make his return to action towards the end of the year.

It is said that the defender has been focused on his recovery after suffering a significant injury to the hamstring tendon in his right leg. This injury occurred on July 7 during the quarter-final match of the Copa America, where Uruguay faced Brazil.

Following the injury, Araujo travelled to Finland to undergo surgery. The surgery was reported to be successful, which is promising news for both Araujo and Barcelona.

Having spent some time in his homeland, Araujo returned to Barcelona recently and today, for the first time, stepped onto the pitch at Ciutat Esportiva to do some individual training.

Barcelona’s medical staff are being cautious with Araujo’s recovery. The club is keen to avoid rushing him back onto the pitch, as this could increase the risk of re-injury.

The primary goal is to ensure that Araujo returns to optimal condition without compromising his long-term health. The approach is to proceed carefully with Araujo’s rehabilitation, taking all necessary precautions to prevent any setbacks.

The club’s focus is on allowing the defender to return to form when he is completely ready, rather than pushing him back into action too soon. This careful approach reflects the importance of Araujo to the team and the desire to ensure he can contribute effectively once he is fully recovered.

For now, Barcelona will be keeping a close eye on Araujo’s progress. The team is hopeful that by the end of the year, he will be back in action, strengthening the defence and contributing to the club’s success in the remainder of the season.

For now, patience is key as Araujo continues his rehabilitation to return to full fitness and resume his vital role in the squad.
