Ronald Araújo makes it clear that he will return better than before his injury

The FC Barcelona eagerly awaits the return of Ronald Araújo. It is worth noting that the 25-year-old Uruguayan defender is currently recovering from a hamstring injury in his right leg suffered in mid-July during the match between the Uruguay national team and Brazil in the Copa America quarterfinals. This setback, with an estimated recovery time of approximately four months, should allow the Uruguayan defender to return by late November or early December.

Regarding his physical setback, Ronald Araujo has decided to break the silence and speak out on the matter. During an interview for the club's streaming platform, Barça One, the Rivera native shared positive news about his recovery but did not confirm a specific return date. "I am progressing very well and that makes me happy. It has not been easy, but I have learned a lot, both physically and mentally. Recovery is going well. I am very happy, the club is surprised by how I am doing. I will come back like a bull," he affirmed.

Barcelona's Main Goal and the Expectation as a Cule

Now that the issue of his physical recovery has been completely resolved, the Barcelona '4' also discussed other interesting topics related to the current state of affairs at Camp Nou. He made it clear, for example, that the goal of FC Barcelona is to win all possible titles this season, but it is evident that the Catalan team has a special consideration for once again lifting the UEFA Champions League, a trophy they have not won since the 2015 season, a competition in which Barça has faced numerous challenges in recent years:

"We all aspire to win the Champions League, it is the biggest goal we have and it is the pending subject. It is also the title that remains for me, and I will give everything to be able to lift it," he warned.

Furthermore, Ronald Araújo was emphatic about the obligation that Barcelona, as a top-tier club, has to always stay on the path of triumph and consistently raise trophies. He expressed confidence that the team is currently on the right track to achieve this. "We play for a club where we are obligated to win titles. When titles are not won, the season is considered bad. We are Barça and we are obligated to win titles. It is true that this is a new project with many young players; it was a season of learning, we learned from the tough moments of last season," he pointed out.

His Relationship with Hansi Flick and Chemistry with the Blaugrana Squad

Likewise, the Uruguayan also had the opportunity to talk about what he has currently seen in Hansi Flick's sporting project and what his perception of the German coach has been with the initial contacts he has had with him. "I did not have time to share the field with them, but I am enjoying the team. It is going very well. It is important to start well for a La Liga title, which is long. I enjoy the team; we know we have to work with humility," he emphasized.

"I have spoken with him; we have a good 'feeling' and we have talked about everything. The challenge would be to win titles this season," he concluded.

The Pride of Being a Barcelona Captain

Finally, among other topics that Ronald Araújo addressed during his interview on Barça One, the Uruguayan commented on how he feels about being the second captain of Barcelona and assuming that leadership role in the dressing room, which must be imposed by a figure of that hierarchy. This reaffirms his comfort with that role. "For me, being a captain of Barça is a pride. I feel privileged for it. I know the responsibility it carries, but I feel very prepared for it. It comes very naturally to me, I think it is part of my characteristics, to be a bit of a leader, I try to be aware of everything, that everyone is well, I worry about knowing where they live and with whom they live, if everything is okay. It is not just about being aware on the field, but also off the field, that the group is well. Everything comes very naturally to me because of who I am," he concluded.
