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.
