Barcelona center-back Ronald Araujo has begun his rehabilitation process following surgery on a hamstring injury suffered while in Uruguay duty at the Copa America last month, with the expectation being he will miss at least four months of action.

That news led to reports that Barça are considering not registering Araujo until January to create salary cap space, which would in theory help complete their summer transfer plans and register all available players within La Liga’s books for the first half of the season.

And Araujo is not happy with that possibility. That’s according to Uruguayan journalist Nicolás Saavedra, who claims Ronald is upset with Barça over the registration rumors because the player believes he can return before January but would be unable to play without the clearance from the league.
