After requesting time off, Ronald Araujo set for Barcelona return | OneFootball

After requesting leave to take care of his mental health, defender Ronald Araújo already has a date to return to Barcelona.

According to the newspaper Marca, the player—who is very religious—sought spiritual refuge in Jerusalem and other sacred places.

And the expectation is that he will return to play for the Catalan club on January 3.

This will be Barça’s first match after the Christmas break, a classic against Espanyol, for the 18th round of La Liga.

The plan is for Ronald Araújo to report back on December 29. Before that, he will spend Christmas with his family in Uruguay.

Ronald Araújo has been away since the 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League—a match marked by the defender’s sending off.
