The agents of player Ronald Araujo visited Barcelona's sports city this Monday morning to hold a meeting with the club's management aimed at supporting the Uruguayan defender psychologically and restoring his morale. They explained to the club that the player needs an unlimited amount of time for psychological recovery, emphasizing the importance of full solidarity among all parties to ensure his return to brilliance on the field.

Coach Hans Flick confirmed during the press conference that Araujo is currently not ready to participate in matches, saying: "Ronald is not ready to play, it is a personal matter and I will not say more, and I ask for respect for that, this is all I can say and will say," stressing that the defender will not participate in the upcoming match against Atletico Madrid.

Araujo had missed the team's last match on Saturday due to a stomach virus, but he has not yet participated in the team's group training since his sending off in the Champions League match against Chelsea last week, where he received a second yellow card after a challenge on Cucurella in the first half and left the field affected psychologically.

The source pointed out that the last seven days have been difficult for the defender, which prompted his agents to meet with the club management today to coordinate psychological support. His teammates showed full respect and understanding of his situation, affirming their support for him as one of the team leaders.

Barcelona's management clarified that the current priority is to protect the player psychologically and give him enough time to recover, to ensure his return in the best physical and mental readiness, confirming that the club, the player, and his teammates are working together to successfully overcome this stage.
