Barcelona's central defender, Ronald Araújo, sustained a right ankle contusion following a tackle by Saúl Ñíguez during the first half of the recent match against Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium.
Despite attempting to continue, Araújo was substituted shortly after the incident. Subsequent medical evaluations have ruled out any severe injury, confirming only a contusion. The club anticipates that Araújo will have sufficient time to recover before the upcoming La Liga fixture against Rayo Vallecano.
This development comes after Araújo's recent return to the pitch on January 4th, following a previous injury sustained during international duty with Uruguay last summer. His presence is pivotal for Barcelona, especially considering the team's current injury challenges in the defensive lineup.
Manager Hansi Flick expressed relief regarding the diagnosis, noting that the absence of a severe injury is a positive outcome for the team's defensive stability.
