Overview
- Yahoo Sports, citing COPE reporter Helena Condis, reports Ronald Araujo has no injury and is set to be available for the UEFA Champions League meeting with Atlético Madrid.
- During the recent league match against Atlético, Araujo felt a hamstring issue late in the first half, played on for about ten minutes, then asked to come off.
- Marc Bernal, who replaced Araujo, left that game with an injury around the hour mark in a further setback for Barcelona.
- Barcelona’s options in central defense remain tight with Eric García dealing with fitness problems and Andreas Christensen currently sidelined.
- Jules Koundé and Alejandro Baldé are back, and those returns could keep Araujo out of the starting lineup according to the report.
