Defender Ronald Araujo was recently sent off during a Champions League match against Chelsea. Reports in the media suggested that the Uruguayan footballer had taken the incident badly.
Over the weekend, Araujo did not participate in the La Liga match against Alaves, a situation that head coach Hans-Dieter Flick initially attributed to gastrointestinal problems. However, the German coach has now made an unusual statement, saying that Araujo is not ready to play due to personal issues.
"Ronald is not ready to play. This is a personal situation, and I do not wish to provide further details.
I ask you to respect his condition. That is all I have to say for now," Flick said during a press conference on Monday.
"Barcelona" is set to host "Atletico" on Tuesday.
