There was no ‘miracle’ Araújo

Ronald Araújo has not finally entered the list for the game against Getafe. Both the technicians and the doctors agreed with the player to leave him out of the call to avoid unnecessary risks. In fact, in the morning session, the central defender avoided headers, so it was found that he could end up conditioning his game. Given this situation, and taking into account LaLiga’s prevention protocol in cases of concussion, it was decided that Araújo would stay in Barcelona.

Thus, the call presented by Xavi Hernández for the match against Getafe accumulates a total of nine casualties. Namely: Araújo, Pedri, Sergi Roberto, Nico, Dest, Eric and Piqué, all of them injured, along with Alba and Frenkie, suspended. In fact, Xavi has only 17 first-team players available, including Danish Martin Braithwaite, who did not exercise on Saturday due to indisposition, but recovered in time to enter the squad.

Given this situation, Xavi had to call five players from the reserve team to complete the list: goalkeeper Carevic, defenders Balde and Mármol, and midfielders Jandro and Álvaro.

And besides, the Egarense coach is still in luck, since at least for this Sunday’s game he recovers a very important piece for his team: captain Sergio Busquets, who could not be against Celta due to suspension.

The complete list of players that are part of the list for the game against Getafe (7:30 p.m.) this Sunday at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum is as follows: Ter Stegen, Neto, Mingueza, Alves, Umtiti, lenglet, Sergio Busquets, Riqui Puig, Dembélé, Adama, Memphis, Ansu, Luke, Aubameyang, Braithwaite, Ferran, Carevic, Gavi, Jandro, Alvaro, Bucket y Marble.
