Barcelona lose Ronald Araujo to injury against Real Sociedad

Barcelona lost center-back Ronald Araujo to injury during Thursday’s La Liga clash against Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena.

Araujo was back in the team after missing the defeat to Cadiz due to suspension but seemed to pick up a knee injury in the second half and asked to be replaced.

The Uruguayan seemed to be in real pain and was taken off in the 55th minute and replaced by Eric Garcia in central defense. Araujo was spotted afterwards on the bench with an ice pack on his knee.

Gerard Pique had also appeared to be struggling earlier on in the match, on his return to the starting XI after a spell out with injury, but did manage to play on.
