Ronald Araujo has sent out a message to Uruguay fans after returning to Barcelona following his team’s World Cup exit.
The defender didn’t manage to feature in Qatar, as he’s still on the recovery trail after undergoing surgery, and is disappointed he couldn’t have helped his team’s cause.
“The World Cup dream is over. I’m sad that I couldn’t help my teammates and my country on the pitch,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Since I got injured, I did everything I could to try and recover and help the team. It was close, but it didn’t happen.
