What does Ronald Araujo’s imminent return for Barcelona mean for Pau Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez?

As Barcelona get ready to face Barbastro in the first game of 2025, one of the first questions for Culers is likely to be whether Ronald Araujo will finally make his 24/25 bow.

The Copa del Rey tie certainly represents a match where the Uruguayan could potentially ease himself back into action, notwithstanding the combativeness of opponents who will almost certainly put up a decent fight.

However, Hansi Flick needs to ask himself exactly when and where he sees Araujo fitting into the side, as there is no real reason for him to drop either Inigo Martinez or Pau Cubarsi at present.
