Spanish football club Barcelona announced today, Monday, that its Uruguayan defender, Ronald Araujo, has successfully undergone surgery to eliminate an injury suffered while participating with his country’s national team in the “Copa America 2024”.
Araujo was injured in the Uruguay-Brazil match in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Copa America, which his country won on penalties after regulation time ended in a goalless draw.
Barcelona said in a statement via its account on the “X” platform: “First-team player Ronald Araujo has undergone successful surgery, following a tendon injury in his right knee.”
The Catalan club has not set a timetable for the return of its Uruguayan defender to the stadiums, saying only: “Araujo’s return to matches will be determined according to the pace of his recovery from his injury.”
FC Barcelona is currently preparing for the new 2024-2025 season under the leadership of its new German coach, Hansi Flick.
