Continuing individual treatment
Araujo (calf) visited the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper on Tuesday for individual treatment ahead of rejoining the group, according to Victor Navarro of COPE.
Analysis: Araujo is expected to join Barcelona's squad on July 20 and should participate normally in the club's preseason camp in England. The defender had been dealing with a calf injury that limited his involvement with Uruguay at the World Cup, missing multiple matches during the tournament. His individualized program suggests continued but manageable recovery progress ahead of the new campaign. Araujo is expected to be fully available once he rejoins full team training later this month.
Will remain out versus Spain
Araujo (calf) has "no chance of playing against Spain", according to coach Marcelo Bielsa, El Espectador Deportes reports.
Analysis: Araujo was originally targeting the final group match to return after missing the first two contests due to his injury, but it seems he's still struggling with discomfort. This means two among Jose Maria Gimenez, Sebastian Caceres and Mathias Olivera will be involved in center-back roles in the upcoming game, although Uruguay have experienced trouble at the back without the Barcelona man. It's still unclear if Araujo will be back in an eventual round of 32 fixture.
