Ronald Araujo will travel with Barcelona to face Borussia Dortmund as the return approaches
Central defender of Barcelona Ronald Araujo he has been back training with the group for about two weeks now, and is close to his return to action after surgery on the muscles. He will be part of their trip to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
Araujo will be part of the Champions League team report Sportbut it is unlikely that he will participate in his match at the Signal Iduna Park. However, to receive the medical green light, he could get it on German soil, but it is not certain that he will get it before the game. Barcelona will stay in Dortmund on Wednesday night, and will train there on Thursday morning, so Araujo's presence is partly logistical, allowing him to continue training with the team.

The 25-year-old is likely to make his return against Leganes on Sunday night, when he will begin a gradual introduction into the side again, likely from the bench to begin with. Manager Hansi Flick will no doubt be delighted to have Araujo back and hopefully fight fit in January. So far, Inigo Martinez and Pau Cubarsi have played almost the entire campaign, with Eric Garcia only recently available as a senior alternative, and Sergi Dominguez playing here and there.
