Hansi Flick is seriously considering including Ronald Araújo in the squad for the match against Borussia Dortmund despite not having the medical clearance
Next Wednesday, the most anticipated return for FC Barcelona could take place. After five months on the sidelines, everything points to Ronald Araújo being included in Hansi Flick's squad to face Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 5 of the Champions League.
The Blaugrana team will visit Signal Iduna Park with the aim of adding three points to increase their chances of directly qualifying for the round of 16, and they would do so with the motivation of having one of the team's most important players back in the squad, as reported by journalist Javier Miguel.
Barça would call up Araújo despite not having the medical all-clear
The sensations with Araújo are increasingly better, with the Uruguayan completing training sessions with the rest of his teammates as normal since last Sunday. For this reason, and despite not yet having the medical all-clear, the Catalans would include him in the list of players who will travel to Germany to face Nuri Sahin's team.
However, it seems unlikely that the player will get minutes in Dortmund, since his return to the pitch is scheduled for the match on Sunday 15 December against Leganés. Beyond this, being able to count on the Uruguayan again in the squad is the best news for Barça and Hansi Flick, who sees the centre-back as one of the pillars of his project for the future.
