Barcelona get Ronald Araujo boost ahead of Espanyol clash

Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo will be passed fit in time for Saturday’s La Liga restart against Espanyol at the Camp Nou.

Diario AS report that the Uruguay international will get the medical green light in time for the game after recovering from thigh surgery.

Araujo will be included in the matchday squad, although it’s not clear yet if he will start the game against Barca’s local rivals.

The defender’s recovery has attracted headlines and drawn concern from Barca, as he joined up with the Uruguay squad in Qatar for the World Cup ahead of schedule.
