Ronald Araújo does not let himself be bothered by the fracture of the cheekbone he suffered on Sunday against Atlético Madrid. He will play against Girona on Sunday and therefore trained yesterday with a face mask.
Many would probably stay home from training if a few days before they had been hit in the face by an opponent’s boot studs, resulting in a fractured cheekbone. With such it is not with Araujo.
He showed up at the training ground with a face mask, which he will most likely also wear in Sunday’s top game against Girona. He warmed up without the mask, but put it on as the pace picked up and the ball came into play.
