FC Barcelona expects a 'luxury' reinforcement for the defence in December

The available players of the FC Barcelona first team have been put under the orders of Hansi Flick this Monday, November 18, to begin training prior to the match against Celta on Saturday, November 23. While waiting for the return of the internationals, Ronald Araújo was the main novelty of the day at the Ciutat Esportiva.

The Uruguayan is already facing the final stretch of his recovery from his injury to the hamstring tendon of his right thigh and at Can Barça they are beginning to outline his return to the playing fields. After just over four months of intense work, the player's evolution is optimal and his return to the Blaugrana discipline is now a matter of setting deadlines.

The date on which Araújo's possible return could take place

According to what was reported in 'Mundo Deportivo', and despite the fact that there has not yet been a definitive decision, Flick and his staff are beginning to prepare Araújo's return to the first team just as they did with Gavi, but the intention is for it to happen before the end of the year.

The club and the coaching staff expect the Uruguayan to be able to put himself under the orders of the coach in mid-December. In that sense, the match that will face Barça against Leganés on Sunday the 15th of this month seems ideal to see Ronald in shorts again. Despite this, the Catalans will handle his return with total caution, although they already see the light at the end of the tunnel.
