Ronald Araujo (25 years old) had surgery last Monday Finland to help his hamstring tendon injury in his right thigh. This Thursday, the Barça defenderstill on crutches, visited the Sports city to start his recovery process.

That’s why the Uruguayan player changed his Instagram profile picture to a gorilla image, the animal he always uses, with a mask inside a water capsule. He also added a drawing of a dead battery, symbolizing the beginning of his rehabilitation process.
