Barcelona lose key player for at least one month following hamstring injury

Barcelona were plagued by injuries throughout last season, although they were still able to romp to the first LaLiga title in four years. Still, it was a big problem for head coach Xavi Hernandez.

Unfortunately for Xavi, these problems don’t seem to be going away. As revealed by Barcelona in an official statement, Ronald Araujo has suffered a hamstring injury, and this will keep him out of action for a while.

No definitive date has been set, with Barcelona stating that Araujo will return when the injury has healed, although Diario AS report that he is expected to be out of action for at least one month.

Araujo already missed a large part of last season due to injury, during which Barcelona struggled, especially in the Champions League. They will hope to have him back by the start of the group stage schedule, although it’s unknown at this stage whether than will be the case.

  1. Is it just me or is there a massive problem with fitness coaches,dieticians,nutritionists,physios,training coaches,club doctors at all the big football clubs these days ?i mean the season has barely started and already players are dropping like flies,de bruyne,timber,mings,buendía,courtois,militão,carvalho,araujo,koke,llorente the list goes on and on its crazy and surely this isn’t the norm ?

  2. Pep guardiola has been complaining about the amount of games players have to play these days but i mean come on the season is only starting pep there’s got to be more to it than just that ?

    1. I’m a former ultra endurance athlete and trainer, and I can tell you that if you go too far into the well the previous year you are vulnerable the following year. The human body can only take so much.

      Last season was insane, and there will be repercussions. Pep is right; these packed schedules are ruining players’ health.

      1. “I’m a former ultra endurance athlete and trainer”

        sure you are.
        people seem to lack shame online.

        1. I am, actually. Not sure why you’d think I’d lie about something like that, but it says more about you than it does about me I suppose.

          And what I said was true; players that went too deep last year will be more vulnerable to injury and burnout this year than they would otherwise be.

          1. i have seen many online who claim to be experts on the subject vaccines, climate change, GMO etc.
            its always the same, people always invoke some higher education, former glory merits by copypasting things they’ve read online and pretending to be someone else.

            they always have one thing in common and that being they’re pathetic inceIs.

            nothing that you have written so far gives a slightest hint of expertise in pretty much anything.

            so stop pretending fella, that’s extreme cringe.

          2. Not pretending, fella. I’m not so insecure as to claim something online about myself that isn’t true. Do others do that? Of course, but it doesn’t automatically mean that everyone does.

            What you believe is your business, so more power to you I guess.

  3. Suddenly barcas need for a rwb purchase this summer tranfer window becomes even more critical and vitally important.

  4. Fair enough you will obviously know more on this subject than i do and its always good to get knowledge and advice from someone who actually has experience of this themselves in real life thanks.
