Ronald Araújo was the last that added to the list of important drops of the Barça that, definitely, are causing a headache to Koeman, in the middle of a calendar complicadísimo with parties of League, Glass of Rey and Champions League with periods very short to rest. The defensive saga has been the most affected zone, with Gerard Hammered and Sergi Roberto like protagonists in the infirmary and with a Sergiño Dest that is suffering constantly of physical problems.

Of there to that the drop of the central Uruguayan was a new vase of cold water for the culés, that will confront to the Seville with the just in the defence. Araújo Suffered a sprain in the left ankle and the Barça did not give detail any on his state neither time estimated of recovery, but thanks to an interview of the newspaper 'Sport' to the traumatologist Vera, the one who specialises in ankles of iMove-Clinical My Three Towers, knows the scope of the injury of the player of 21 years.

The doctor has explained that the injury of the ligaments of the ankle is very frequent, by what "is not rare that each week go out you the news that some professional player of football or of other sports have suffered a sprain of the ankle".

However, the doctor Vega has explained that the term of recovery is not so long, considering that "the ligaments are used to to recover in a period of 2 to 3 weeks, and expects that the player can reincorporarse in this term".

On the other hand, when treating of an injury of degree 1, the player does not have to go through the operating theatre and will recover with a conservative treatment. The traumatologist has explained that "this injury can treat of conservative way mediante immobilisation, local ice and the taking of oral anti-inflammatory.
