The head coach of the Catalan Barcelona Hansi Flick spoke about the team’s central defender Ronald Araujo. His words are quoted by AS.

“The return depends on him. He feels good, but physically he is not 100 percent ready. It is up to him to decide how quickly he will return.

Araujo has spoken to his teammates and they all support him. He is back and an important player for us.

“Ronald took as much time to recover as he needed and will take as much time as needed,” Flick said.

We will remind you that the last time Araujo played for Barcelona was in the Champions League match against London Chelsea (0:3).
