Ronald Araujo picks up injury during Barcelona’s clash at Espanyol

Ronald Araujo was forced out of Barcelona’s derby clash with Espanyol on Sunday after picking up a knock in the opening 45 minutes.

The Uruguayan was on the end of a couple of heavy challenges and was spotted sitting on the bench after the break with an ice-pack strapped to his calf.

Eric Garcia came on for the second half and replaced Araujo in the heart of the Barcelona defense alongside Gerard Pique.

Barcelona offered an update on social media and confirmed Araujo has a problem with his left leg and will need further tests to determined the severity of the injury.
