The 2026 World Cup is just around the corner, and numerous Barcelona players will be in action for their respective nations – this includes Ronald Araujo, who is expected to be an important player for Uruguay in their bid for an unlikely third world title.
Despite having been a bit-part player at Barcelona for much of the 2025-26 season, Araujo is key for his country, which is why there has been much concerns in the last few days that he could be ruled out for the World Cup. As per MD, the defender suffered a slight injury in his calf, and that prompted him to return to the Catalan club for medical examinations.

“To help resolve a muscle discomfort, the footballer will receive medical treatment by professionals who have previously treated him. The coaching staff and the health of the AUF agreed with this decision. He will not participate in the group activities on Monday, joining the tasks of the group on Tuesday 9, which will travel at night to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.”
