"Barcelona" expects central defender Ronald Araujo to return to the team by the end of 2025.
Idman.Biz reports that the player had previously taken a break from football due to psychological problems.
According to "Sport.es", the Catalan club expects the Uruguayan footballer to return as soon as possible due to defender Andreas Christensen's anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee.
Araujo was previously sidelined indefinitely after the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League match against "Chelsea" (0:3). Although he started in the game, he was sent off before the break and was criticized.
After that, the defender informed the club about his burnout and lack of self-confidence, asking for time to recover psychologically. "Barcelona" management supported his decision and allowed him to rest. During the break, Araujo went on a spiritual journey to Jerusalem.
