"Araujo is not ready. It's a private situation."
Ronald Araujo has been granted a leave of absence to prioritise his mental health. The 26-year-old is receiving professional support and treatment and has requested a few days off to take care of himself emotionally. Barcelona has offered full support, with team-mates and staff backing him and expressing a desire for his return. Araujo's most recent appearance was in a 3-0 Champions League defeat by Chelsea, where he received two bookings and was sent off in the 44th minute. He was not part of the squad for the 3-1 home win over Alaves. Manager Hansi Flick confirmed Araujo will miss the La Liga game against Atletico Madrid, described the matter as private and asked for privacy. Barcelona lead La Liga by one point over Real Madrid; Atletico sit fourth, three points behind.
