"According to information from Catalunya Radio, relayed by SPORT, the uncertainty around the captain prompted several senior players to take a proactive step inside the dressing room. Rather than allowing doubt to linger, a group of players approached Hansi Flick to express their concern and, more importantly, their willingness to help the team cope with Araujo's absence. The discussion reportedly took place in a collective huddle, with multiple players contributing and offering solutions."
"Flick responded that the most effective way to support Araujo was not through words, but through performances. As such, key figures such as Jules Kounde, Frenkie de Jong, and Andreas Christensen were involved in the conversation. Some players, including Kounde and De Jong, even went a step further by making themselves available to play out of position if required, particularly in central defence."
Ronald Araujo has been on indefinite leave since Barcelona's 0-3 defeat to Chelsea, with concerns about his situation building internally for weeks. Several senior players took a proactive step by approaching Hansi Flick in a collective huddle to express concern and offer help. Key figures including Jules Kounde, Frenkie de Jong and Andreas Christensen participated, with Kounde and De Jong making themselves available to play out of position, particularly in central defence. Flick emphasized that support should come through performances and reinforced that versatility is a major asset, already reflected by adaptable players used on the pitch.
