Araújo does not train 48 hours before the match against Sevilla

The great absence in this Monday's session was the Uruguayan central defender Ronald Araújo, staying in the locker room to complete a prevention work on his left ankle. It should be remembered that the player only lasted 17 minutes in the game against Sevilla when he noticed a puncture in his left ankle, that made Ronald Koeman act quickly, changing him for Samuel Umtiti, before the evident anger of the young center-back, who even kicked a row of stands while he was leaving the field.

In any case, the Dutch coach did not want to take any risk with Araújo, aware that the player arrived very right to the match against Sevilla, after suffering a grade two sprain three weeks ago, so he decided to replace him to avoid greater evils.

Everything indicates that the Uruguayan central will jump this Tuesday in the morning session to prepare for the match against Sevilla in the Cup, so your presence is not in danger for the big event this Wednesday, where he could pair up with Gerard Piqué, with whom he has not coincided on a pitch since last October 4Curiously, in the LaLiga first round match against Sevilla at the Camp Nou (1-1).

All other available players they exercised with full normality in the session this Monday. Who is not yet available is the Bosnian Miralem Pjanic, after suffering a strain on the right ankle, as well as neither Pedri, with an elongation in the soleus of the left leg that could leave him from two to three weeks off the pitch.
