10 days after his surgery on the long adductor tendon of his right thigh, Ronald Araújo remains convinced that he will recover in time for the World Cup. The Uruguayan team led by Diego Alonso is also optimistic

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Uruguay will debut in the World-wide of Catar the next 24 November in front of South Korea in the Stadium City of the Education of Rayán. For this day, is very likely that Ronald Araújo still was not smart to play, but so much the central like the seleccionador Uruguayan Diego Alonso trust that the player of the FC Barcelona will be able to form part of the list of 26 summoned for the tournament.

In this sense, the trainer of 47 years expects that the recovery of the central culé was inside the terms so that the player of 23 years can be available for one of the phases of the tournament. Perhaps the one of Rivera do not arrive to be to 100% for the phase of groups, but if for an eventual crossing of eighth or quarter-finals. Uruguay is, beside Portugal, favourite in the Group H to surpass the first phase of a zone that complete Ghana.

The 'charrúas' complete his calendar of the phase of groups on 28 November in front of the lusos and on 2 December in front of the African. The qualifiers of the Group H will cross in eighth with the ones of the Group G that integrate Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon. In this way, if the ones of Diego Alonso finish second in his zone could see the faces with the 'canarinha' in the eighth on 6 December in Lusail, a party for which, maybe, Araújo could have the high medical.

In principle, the operation in the long sinew of the aductor of the right thigh gives for between two and three months, but the central of the Barça has showed in other opportunities that, as well as it is proclive to the injuries, also is it to recover sooner of the expected of his physical problems. However, further of the wish to contest his first World-wide, the defender has clear that will not force to put in risk his future in the season 2022-23.

Araújo Is conscious of the risk

The one of Rivera has clear that Diego Alonso will reserve him his contingent between the 26 players that will travel to Catar until last moment, as well as that force to play can derive in a more serious traumatism. No in vain, Ronald descartó the conservative treatment that would have allowed him go back to play before and decided to operate to avoid greater evils. For the 'charrúa', his commitment with the Barça is so important like his wish to help to his selection.

From here that it will not take decisions that prejudice his physicist to average and long term. In this sense, Xavi Hernández also trusts that the player will be able to recover prompt and take the best decision for his future. "If somebody can recortar terms is he", said the technician culé, conscious of the hard work that will make Araújo in the weeks to come for sanar fast of his operation. In the meantime, the Barça will miss him when the team plays the life in Champions and the injuries attack to the staff.
