Barcelona Secures Victory Against Sevilla
Barcelona emerged victorious with a 4-1 win over Sevilla, with goals from Robert Lewandowski, Fermin Lopez, Raphinha, and Eric Garcia. However, the match was not without its setbacks, as Lopez was sent off shortly after scoring and Ronald Araujo suffered an injury.
Ronald Araujo’s Injury
Ronald Araujo, who has had his fair share of fitness issues in recent seasons, was substituted after just 22 minutes due to an ankle injury. The Uruguayan defender twisted his ankle while avoiding a challenge from Saul Niguez, causing concern for Barcelona. Initial reports suggested a possible sprain for Araujo.
A Positive Update on Araujo’s Injury
Despite initial fears of a lengthy absence for Araujo, further assessments have revealed positive news. Reports indicate that Araujo did not sustain a serious injury and is dealing with ankle inflammation from the impact of the challenge. Manager Hansi Flick expressed optimism about Araujo’s recovery, stating that the injury is not as severe as initially feared.
Potential Return Against Rayo Vallecano
It is now believed that Araujo could be available for Barcelona’s upcoming match against Rayo Vallecano. With no muscle damage reported, Araujo’s swelling is expected to subside, allowing him to potentially feature in the team’s next game. Barcelona fans can look forward to Araujo’s possible return as they face Rayo Vallecano in their next fixture.
