Barcelona is gearing up for their UEFA Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund on December 11, just three days after a 2-2 draw with Real Betis in La Liga.
Coach Hansi Flick is expected to have some reinforcements for the crucial encounter against the Bundesliga side.
Details: According to Mundo Deportivo, one of these reinforcements could be the long-awaited return of Ronald Araujo, marking his first appearance this season after a severe injury.
Flick has exercised extreme caution with Araujo’s recovery from a hamstring issue, avoiding any risks. However, after completing several full training sessions, the Uruguayan defender now appears ready to rejoin the action.
While Araujo is unlikely to start at Signal Iduna Park, Flick may give him a few important minutes off the bench to ease him back into match fitness.
Reminder: Araujo has been sidelined to December due to a hamstring injury sustained while representing Uruguay at the Copa América. The defender has yet to feature for Barcelona this season.
