Ronald Araujo ready for Champions League return as Barcelona head to Dortmund

Barcelona face a quick turnaround for their UEFA Champions League trip to Borussia Dortmund.

La Blaugrana will take on the Bundesliga giants on December 11, just three days after their 2-2 La Liga draw against Real Betis.

A draw in Andalusia means Hansi Flick's side lost further ground in the title race and he will be looking to respond in the Champions League.

As part of preparations for a flight to Germany, Flick will assess his squad, with rotations expected due to the tight period between matches.

According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, one of those changes could be a first appearance of the season for Ronald Araujo following his delayed return from injury.

Flick has opted for maximum caution due to his hamstring problem. but now that several training sessions have been completed, he seems ready to get started.

The Uruguayan is unlikely to start at Signal Iduna Park, but he could get some crucial minutes off the bench through Flick.
