Alarms at FC Barcelona! Ronald Araujo leaves injured against Sevilla

Bad news for FC Barcelona on the night of February 9th. The Catalan team visited the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán to face Sevilla and received a harsh blow in the first 20 minutes of the match. Ronald Araujo suffered a very tough tackle from Saúl Ñíguez in his own half and could not continue on the pitch, raising alarms in the Catalan capital.

In the 17th minute, the Blaugrana defender was the victim of a strong foul by the Palangan midfielder, who received a yellow card for the reckless challenge on the Uruguayan. The captain attempted to rejoin and continue helping the team on the field, but five minutes later he was forced to leave the match, with Pau Cubarsí taking his place in defense.

A new setback for Araujo

Awaiting medical tests to determine the extent of the Uruguayan's injury, this setback represents a new blow for the player, who barely returned to action last January. Araujo missed the first half of the season due to a problem with the hamstring tendon in his right thigh, reappearing with the first team in the Copa match against Barbastro.

The player was starting to establish himself as one of Hansi Flick's key players in central defense, relegating Iñigo Martínez to the bench. However, if this physical issue keeps him off the field for a significant time, his progress could be halted, although the hope of the club and the Barcelona fans is that it is just a bruise.
