Although the club has refrained from publishing or conveying any exact expected date of the return for the Uruguayan, similar reports suggest and agree that the expected time out will be at least 2-3 weeks, meaning that Ronald Araujo will consequently miss the two friendly matches that Uruguay’s National Team is scheduled to play against Japan and South Korea, on the 24th and 28th of March, respectively.

By missing this international break, Ronald Araujo is given enough leisure and time to rest and recover thoroughly.
This problem with his adductor was even hinted at priorly by the Uruguayan before the match against Almeria.
This suggests it’s rather advisable that the Barcelona defender indeed takes some time off rather than risk aggravating a pre-existing problem.
FC Barcelona are next scheduled to play bottom-placed Elche CF on matchday 27 of La Liga Santander.
Xavi Hernandez and the Barcelona medical team will indefinitely be keeping an eye out in particular to ensure Araujo’s complete recovery.
