Reason Behind Araújo’s Absence in Barcelona’s Recent Match
A straightforward reason for the absence.
Barcelona defeated Valencia 6–0 in La Liga, but centre-back Ronald Araújo was missing from the match. The reason for this has now been revealed.
Details: Diario SPORT reports that coach Hansi Flick chose to rest the Uruguayan defender to prepare him for the UEFA Champions League opener against Newcastle.
Barcelona will play Newcastle away in their first group-stage match of the Champions League. The match is set for Thursday, September 18, starting at 21:00 CET.
Reminder: The club claims that the stadium is ready for partial reopening, with only a few bureaucratic issues left. However, recent footage of a rat inside the renovated Camp Nou raises concerns about the club’s statements.
This issue is particularly important for upcoming Champions League matches, even as UEFA’s official website still lists Camp Nou as the venue for the Barcelona vs. PSG game.
