Ronald Araujo granted absence after club talks
Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo has been granted a temporary leave of absence following discussions with the club.
The 26-year-old was not included in Barcelona’s matchday squad for Saturday’s 3–1 home victory over Alaves. The decision came after internal talks regarding his current situation and well-being.
Club representatives confirmed that Araujo has the team’s full support during this period, though no specific return date has been set. His absence is understood to be unrelated to injury, and the club emphasized respect for his privacy while he steps away.
“We have been in constant conversation with Ronald and fully understand his need for a short personal break,” stated a source close to the team.
Teammates and staff reportedly support the defender’s decision, framing it as a mutual understanding between player and management aimed at preserving his mental and emotional balance.
Barcelona will rely on their defensive depth in his absence while maintaining open communication with Araujo about his eventual return.
