A medical source from the Uruguay national team has revealed worrying information about the condition of Ronald Araujo, the Barcelona defender who suffered a serious injury during Uruguay's penalty shootout victory over Brazil early yesterday morning in the quarter-finals of the Copa America. Reports indicate that Araujo is dealing with a tear in the hamstring, while others suggest he has an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg.
So far, no official statement has been released by the Uruguay national team regarding the injury of the Barcelona star. A medical source from the team told the Catalan newspaper "Mundo Deportivo": "Araujo still has swelling in the injury area, so it doesn't make sense to conduct more comprehensive medical examinations just yet." This means that the diagnoses related to Araujo's condition are still inconclusive. The newspaper noted that the defender is likely to be sidelined for approximately eight weeks.
