Exactly a month before the start of the La Liga season, title contenders Barcelona learned the unpleasant news , that he will not be able to rely on Ronald Araujo almost until the end of the year, reported sportal.bg. The titular defender will undergo surgery for a problem in his left hip and will be out for about 4 months.
He picked up a stretch with the Uruguay team in a match against Brazil at the Copa America. Initially, it was believed that the defender will be out of action for no more than two months, but the examinations made in Barcelona have shown a serious problem. Araujo himself has given his consent for surgery, which means we certainly won't see him in action before December.
Separately with an injury for the Catalans is Pedri, who will miss the entire pre-season training, but should return by the end of August.
