FC Barcelona published a reassuring medical statement this Sunday concerning two players on its squad. Released in the first period against Atlético de Madrid (1-2), Ronald Araujo suffers from a small muscle overload in his left thigh muscle, but the Uruguayan defender will be available for Wednesday’s crucial match against Atlético de Madrid, this time in the Champions League. This news comes as a relief for Hansi Flick, who will be able to count on defensive reinforcement for this C1 quarter-final.
On the other hand, the young Marc Bernal is affected by a sprained left ankle. The exact recovery time has not yet been set and will depend on how his injury progresses over the coming days. This potential unavailability represents a hard blow for the Catalan midfielder, who is expected to miss several days of competition.
