Mundo reveals the reason why Xavi replaced Araujo vs Celta Vigo

Barcelona achieved a difficult victory over its host, Celta Vigo, with a score of 2-1 in the match that was held between them this evening, Saturday, in the 25th round of the Spanish Premier League.

Ronald Araujo, FC Barcelona’s centre-back, was substituted in the first half of the match against Celta in Balaidos. According to sources from Barcelona’s first team consulted by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona’s centre-back remained on the bench “as a precaution.”

Despite the importance of the match against Celta Vigo, there is another, more important match next Wednesday, which is the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

Unless there is a surprise, the Uruguayan defender will be able to face Napoli. In fact, as soon as the second half started, he sat on the bench and his teammates asked him how he was doing and Araujo made an upward gesture, suggesting that he was not suffering from any injury. Iñigo Martinez came on to replace his place in the lineup.
