Ronald Araujo Heads to Israel, Because of THIS Reason...

Ronald Araujo has been one of the key pillars of FC Barcelona defence. However, his form has dipped for some time now, and the Uruguayan has been receiving a lot of flak of late. One such instance has been his first-half red card against Chelsea. His sending off turned out to be one of the reasons behind the Blues' dominant 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge.

Since then, Ronald Araujo has not featured for Barcelona in any of the matches. The Uruguayan is reportedly suffering from mental health issues & has requested time from the club to recover before returning to action.

The defender is going through one of the toughest moments of his career and has reportedly travelled to Tel Aviv, Israel, to clear his mind. The trip to Israel is seen as Ronald Araujo spiritual journey, where the Uruguayan will disconnect from all that's happening in Spain & will remain in a much calmer and relaxed environment. This “spiritual journey” might prove to be a much-needed reset and might make the defender's return to the team easier.

Likewise, defending La Liga champions Barcelona are in full support of one of their club captains' decisions to distance himself for his own well-being and only want him back when he is fully prepared. The club is convinced that the best version of Ronald Araujo will soon arrive after he has recovered from whatever he's going through.

When will Ronald Araujo Return?

As of now, no one can truly answer ‘When will Ronald Araujo return?’ There has been no official statement from the club regarding his recovery timeline. Sportsdunia will keep you updated with the latest information on further updates about the defender's situation. Stay tuned.
