Ronald Araújo has suffered a new muscular injury, of which still does not know the real gravity and therefore the time of drop of the player. This situation, added to that the minimum that the Uruguayan could be in the infirmary are 4 or 5 weeks, does that the FC Barcelona lose to one of his head offices titled for the start of the season, programmed for the next 18 August in the field of Valencia Cf.

And it is that the initial idea of the Barça for this summer was can do box because of the 'overbooking' of defenders that exists in the staff, and beside names like Eric García, Jules Koundé, Lenglet and Mika Faye, also found the options of Iñigo Martínez and Andreas Christensen. However, 'Relief' informs that the Barcelona group thinks that so much the Basque like the Danish would be the headlines in the centre of the line of defence to begin the new season.

The information aims that in front of the posture of both players to want to continue as Barcelona, also has added the 'obligation' of the Barça to follow having they to try have the best start of season that can without an Araújo that could return in September, or even in October. But it is that besides also it is the presence of Pau Cubarsí in the Olympic games, to the equal that Eric García, something that would do that the young defender return to the club when already it have played , like minimum, the first day of the championship.

Both absences do that although the one of Iñigo is one of the agreements that the club has pending to inscribe, and still is working for regularizar his economic situation and return to the rule 1/1, the culés can not value right now his exit. Taking into account that if the Basque is not inscribed, the Barça still will have to pay him his important index card, the club prefers to take advantage of him like an important sportive element to initiate the course, where beside Koundé and Christensen would compose the list of available head offices for the first and second day.

Christensen, an option to do box that the Barça can not 'explode'

In the case of the Danish, the Barça valued his exit only by economic subjects, when being a player that arrived free in 2022 and his sale would suppose a net sale. This, adding besides his big past season, like head office and pivote, and his very good Eurocopa, planted him like an option more than valid so that the Barça tried to do box, but the unforeseen with Araújo, Cubarsí and Eric, seems that they will allow him be by third season like player culé.
