Ronald Araújo took the final step to return to play with FC Barcelona

One day after the defeat suffered at Montjuïc against Las Palmas, FC Barcelona returned to training in a session that had a huge novelty. And that is that since his return to the Barça discipline, Ronald Araújo completed this Sunday his first session with the rest of his teammates.

In this way, the central defender took the definitive step to receive medical clearance and return to a call-up after being four months in the club's infirmary due to the serious injury to the hamstring tendon of the right thigh suffered with Uruguay in the Copa América 2024.

Barça, cautious with the return of Araújo

However, the footballer will still have to wait a few days to get the 'OK' from the Blaugrana medical services, since Barça's idea is to be extremely careful with the return of the player. The club expects the Uruguayan to return to the pitch in mid-December, with the match against Leganés as a possible scenario for the return of the '4'.

Despite this, it is not ruled out that Araújo will return to the pitch before this date. The team led by Hansi Flick will face Mallorca (03-12), Betis (07-12) and Borussia Dortmund (11-12) in the coming days, so, if everything goes 'smoothly' as it has so far, the South American defender could reappear in one of these matches.
