Barcelona has received a shock regarding the duration of Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo's absence from the pitch due to injury. Veteran journalist Xavi Miguel from the Spanish newspaper "AS" posted on his account on the "X" network: "There are very negative indications regarding Ronald Araujo's injury. All signs confirm a hamstring injury in the left leg." He added: "The duration of his absence will range from 6 to 8 weeks if the injury is confirmed."
Araujo sustained a serious injury during the match between Uruguay and Brazil early Sunday morning in the quarter-finals of the Copa America. The Uruguayan defender attempted to intercept a cross from Arana, and while extending his right leg, he suffered a clear injury. Araujo fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands, and was quickly approached by teammates and opponents. A substitution was requested immediately. Araujo left the field in tears and was replaced by Jose Maria Gimenez.
