According to the newspaper “Sport”, Ronald Araujo needs to undergo surgery that will keep him out of Barcelona for a long time.
The Uruguayan defender was injured while playing for his country in the Copa America, and left the quarter-final match against Brazil in tears from the pain of the injury.
According to the newspaper close to Barcelona, the player underwent detailed medical tests on Monday at the club’s headquarters, which confirmed a hamstring tear.
The medical team offered Araujo to undergo physiotherapy that would see him return after just two months, but the player decided to undergo surgery to prevent any relapses that would keep him out of action for a long time.
In general, Araujo will not return to Barcelona training for at least 4 months from now, and the club hopes to have his player back in December before the start of the new year.
It is worth noting that Araujo is not the only one who returned from the international break injured, as Pedri will not take part in the preparation period with the new coach Hansi Flick due to a knee injury he sustained while playing for Spain at Euro 2024.
