Barcelona have confirmed Ronald Araujo will undergo surgery on a thigh injury picked up while playing for Uruguay over the international break.
The defender has opted to go under the knife and is now set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Here’s the club’s official statement:
“Ronald Araujo will undergo surgery on Wednesday for the adductor longus tendon avulsion he has in his right thigh. The operation will be carried out by Dr. Lasse Lempainen, under the supervision of the Club’s medical staff, in Turku, Finland.”

It’s a brave decision too as it’s thought he will miss the World Cup but the hope is he will be able to play the second half of Barca’s season.
