Ronald Araujo ended Tuesday’s match against Shakhtar with groin problems and an injury to the defender was feared. However, it turned out not to be serious and therefore Araujo was able to train today.
Araujo touched his left groin several times in the dying stages of the Champions League match against Ukrainian Shakhtar Donetsk and it was clear that something was bothering him. Had Xavi not already used his five possible substitutions, the player from Uruguay would probably have been taken off.
However, he had to play on despite his pain and subsequently the fear of an injury spread. Today, Araujo was examined by the club’s doctors and here was the good news that there is no injury.
That is why you could also see Araujo training today and thus he has escaped the scare, which is good news for Xavi. Araujo is considered one of the Barca coach’s safe choices when fielding the strongest team.
