Ronald Araujo, who suffered a muscle injury, will lie on the operating table, the „Barcelona“ club announces.

Catalonia Radio reported that after the injury suffered in the match against Iran, the center-back had to listen to the advice of Xavi and Dr. Richardo Pruna to undergo surgery instead of conservative treatment.

The injured Uruguayan will miss about 2 months of football due to the operation.

As a result, R. Araujo will also miss the World Cup, where Uruguay will compete in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea, and Ghana.

The 23-year-old center-back will undergo surgery in Turku, Finland.
