Overview
- Julián Araujo was reported Monday to have a quadriceps strain that will keep him out for about seven to eight weeks.
- He has returned to parent club Bournemouth to begin treatment and recovery under the Premier League side’s medical staff.
- The layoff extends into late May, creating real doubt over his place on Mexico’s 2026 World Cup roster as deadlines approach.
- He has not played since March 8 after what Celtic first called fatigue was later assessed as a more serious quad injury, according to reports.
- He had been in strong form on loan at Celtic, so lost minutes and match sharpness now count against him in coach Javier Aguirre’s selection plans.
