One of the stories of the season for Barcelona has been the recovery of Pedri from regular muscle injuries, and the aim of the club is that others follow the example. Dani Olmo will do this, given that he is another that has shown signs of injury pronity in recent years, and this is also the case of Ronald Arajo.
Araujo, who missed the entire first half of the season after tearing his hamstring during the Copa America last summer, has regularly had muscular problems since he broke in the first team of Barcelona. This has limited its progression, and as such his club officials determined to ensure that he returns to his best – and just like Pedri gets even better.
According to the sport, Arajo has had a similar plan as Pedri in recent months that he has followed within the club, but also in his own time. Barcelona is aware that the power of the Uruguayan defender means that he is more sensitive to muscle tears, so these steps have been taken.
Until now, the plan has worked relatively well – Arajo wounded his only last month's victory in Seville, although that was the result of a challenge from Saul Niguez. Barcelona hopes that he will stay fit for as long as possible, as he has shown during the midweek victory on Benfica that he is a very valuable member of Flick's Squad, even if he is no longer a guaranteed starter.
Araujo is still seen as one of the players who can become an ordinary starter for many years to come to Barcelona, ​​and if he can follow a similar progression to Pedri, he can also easily become one of the best central defenders in the world. For now he has to concentrate on himself to keep as fit as possible what he does well.
