The situation

The SER expands the advanced news with us on the suspicion in the Barça club that the Uruguayan Association is forcing the reappearance of the central defender, thus putting his health at risk. A mess in sight with Araúj. ast Friday the 18th, due to the more than well-founded misgivings that Barcelona was aroused by the treatment that the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) is dispensing to Ronald Araújo . And only a few days later, the Barça club was on the warpath with this matter, as they expanded on Wednesday in ‘Què t’hi Jugues!’ of SER Catalunya , to the point that the matter can end with the mediation of FIFA. Barcelona would have already complained to the AUF that they would be forcing the reappearance of the center-back , concentrated in Qatar along with the other 25 charrúas called up for the World Cup but with special conditions. To access this summons, Barcelona had previously reached a tacit agreement with Diego Alonso , the coach, in which it was considered that Araújo would travel to the World Cup to make friends and that it would be the Barça club, through the presence of the physiotherapist Juan Carlos Pérez, who would supervise his recovery from the injury to the adductor longus of the right leg for which he underwent surgery on September 28 in Finland. None of this would be happening. It is for this reason, and given the imminent risk that Uruguay could even give him minutes before the established period so that he is fit to play (which was estimated at about two and a half or three months), Barcelona plans to file a complaint before FIFA to prevent the Uruguayan team from putting the footballer ‘s health at stake . 

The details

Uruguay debuts in the World Cup this Thursday, against South Korea, and will complete the group stage against Portugal (on Monday) and Ghana (on Friday the 2nd). Only in a possible semifinal two and a half months would have elapsed since Araújo’s surgical intervention.
