Barcelona have received encouraging news regarding Ronald Araujo\u2019s fitness after their 4-1 victory over Sevilla.<\/p>\n
Following a 1-1 draw in the Madrid derby, La Blaugrana capitalized on the opportunity to narrow the title race. Hansi Flick\u2019s side now sit just one point behind Atl\u00e9tico Madrid in second place and two behind league leaders Real Madrid after 23 matches.<\/p>\n
Barcelona delivered another commanding performance, with Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha among the scorers. However, the night wasn\u2019t without setbacks, as Fermin Lopez was sent off and Araujo picked up an early injury.<\/p>\n
Lopez, who had netted Barcelona\u2019s second goal, initially received a yellow card, but after a VAR review, it was upgraded to a red. The Spanish midfielder now faces a suspension, which could extend to three games, depending on La Liga\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n
Hansi Flick addressed concerns over Ronald Araujo\u2019s injury immediately after Barcelona\u2019s 4-1 win against Sevilla, confirming that the defender will undergo tests in the coming days to determine the severity of the issue.<\/p>\n
Araujo was forced off in the 22nd minute, raising fears among Barcelona fans, but Flick remains optimistic. \u201cWe expect test results tomorrow, and we hope it\u2019s not too serious. That\u2019s what it looks like right now,\u201d he told Marca.<\/p>\n
Early indications suggest Araujo could be sidelined for a short period, making him doubtful for Barcelona\u2019s upcoming home match against an in-form Rayo Vallecano on February 17.<\/p>\n
Eric Garcia, who replaced Araujo and scored Barcelona\u2019s fourth goal, is expected to fill in during the Uruguayan\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n
Flick also commented on Fermin Lopez\u2019s red card, stating that the young midfielder will learn from the moment, as it was the first dismissal of his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
