Araujo Set to Return for Barcelona’s Copa del Rey Clash
Barcelona's Ronald Araujo is expected to make his long-awaited return in the Copa del Rey match against Barbastro, wearing the captain's armband.
Ronald Araujo is poised for a significant comeback as Barcelona faces Barbastro in the Copa del Rey on January 4. After recovering from a muscle injury sustained in July during the Copa America, Araujo is set to lead his team as captain.
Barcelona has struggled without Araujo this season. His absence since May, when he last played against Rayo Vallecano, has been deeply felt. The Uruguayan defender, cleared to play after his recovery, missed several opportunities to return, including matches against Atletico Madrid and Leganes, due to tactical decisions.
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick considers Araujo essential for the second half of the season. His inclusion in the starting lineup for the Barbastro match signals Barcelona’s intention to regain momentum in domestic competitions.
