[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, after receiving a red card in the Champions League match against Chelsea, Barcelona defender Ronald Araújo requested a period of psychological leave from the club. Sources indicate that Araújo and his agent made this request, as the player believes that the most honest course of action for himself, the team, and the club is to openly signal for time to recover. Barcelona unhesitatingly agreed to this request, as they believe it is crucial for the player to regain his psychological and mental well-being. This leave is “indefinite,” as it is not possible to set a specific date under these circumstances, but it is clear that Araújo’s physical condition is good. Barcelona is ready to support him, granting him the time he requires and providing the psychological assistance he needs. Araújo will now focus on his mental recovery, relying on the support of his family, agent, and teammates to overcome the anxious moments he has experienced. His teammates are already aware of his difficult situation and are giving him their full support.
