“Ronald is not ready at the moment. It's a private situation. I don't want to say more. Please also respect it...”


Barcelona is facing a tough challenge ahead of their LaLiga clash with Atletico Madrid, as key players Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo are set to miss the game. De Jong is down with a fever, while Araujo is dealing with a private situation, likely related to his mental health after being sent off in the Champions League match against Chelsea.


The absence of these two players is a significant blow to Hansi Flick's team, especially considering they're currently leading LaLiga. De Jong has been a crucial player in Barcelona's midfield, and his absence will require some tactical adjustments from Flick. Meanwhile, Araujo's situation highlights the importance of prioritizing players' mental well-being, and the club is supporting him during this time.




Ronald Araujo has been granted an indefinite leave of absence from Barcelona to focus on his mental health. The Uruguayan defender was sent off in Barcelona's 3-0 Champions League defeat by Chelsea last week, and according to Spanish media, he's requested a “mental health break.”






Barcelona coach Hansi Flick confirmed Araujo's situation, saying, “Ronald is not ready at the moment. It's a private situation. I don't want to say more. Please also respect it.”


Barcelona is facing a tough challenge ahead of their LaLiga clash with Atletico Madrid, missing key players Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo. De Jong was absent from Saturday's win over Alaves due to a family issue, while Araujo battled a stomach bug. Unfortunately, De Jong's situation has worsened, and he's now dealing with a fever, ruling him out of tonight's match.


Araujo's absence is due to a private situation, with reports suggesting he's taking a mental health break after being sent off in the Champions League loss to Chelsea. Other notable absentees include Fermin Lopez, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Gavi, putting pressure on Hansi Flick's team.
