"It should be remembered that the midfield superstar withdrew from the game against Alaves at the new Spotify Camp Nou at the last minute on Saturday due to personal issues. In his absence, with Pedri not ready to start, Hansi Flick had to rely on the midfield pairing of Marc Casado and Marc Bernal. Now, though, the Dutch midfielder arrived this morning at the Ciutat Esportiva and trained without any problems, which means his presence against Simeone's side is fully guaranteed."
"As for Araujo, the Uruguayan has still not appeared at the club's facilities to train today, so he is practically ruled out for Tuesday. Barcelona stated that the player is recovering from a stomach virus. At the same time, his red card against Chelsea affected him deeply, and the Blaugrana are using this time to shield him. In any case, Araujo is expected to be ready for Saturday's match against Real Betis at Estadio La Cartuja."
Frenkie de Jong trained at the Ciutat Esportiva and is confirmed available for Tuesday's match against Atletico Madrid. Ronald Araujo did not train and is effectively ruled out for Tuesday while recovering from a stomach virus and being given time to recover after the emotional impact of his red card against Chelsea. Pedri was not ready to start versus Alaves, prompting Hansi Flick to use Marc Casado and Marc Bernal in midfield. Barcelona will also be without Gavi, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Fermin Lopez for the Atletico game. Araujo is expected to be ready for Saturday's match against Real Betis.
