Whether he can return to the game in the short term is still unknown

According to reports, Araújo, wearing the number 4 FC Barcelona jersey, is expected to rejoin the first team for training this Monday. The Uruguayan center-back has returned to the team after his Christmas break.
About a month ago, accompanied by his agent, Araújo requested a period of time from the club for mental health reasons. During this adjustment period, Araújo frequently visited the Johan Cruyff Sports City for individual training and fitness recovery, and also took a mental retreat with his wife.
After completing his rest period, Araújo has returned to Barcelona. He will wear the soccer shirt and train with his teammates, with the main goal of testing his physical condition and gradually reintegrating into the team's rhythm. In principle, Araújo is expected to step onto the training ground after a month's absence, but this does not mean he will return to competitive matches in the short term.
