Barcelona fans send message to returning star during Leganés clash | OneFootball

The home fans in attendance at Barcelona’s meeting with Leganés this evening made use of the opportunity to send a collective message of support to defender Ronald Araújo.

This comes as the Uruguayan inches ever closer to his long-awaited return to the pitch.

Sidelined since the summer owing to a serious hamstring injury, Araújo was included in Barcelona’s matchday squad to face Leganés on Sunday.

Boss Hansi Flick, meanwhile, hinted in the buildup to the clash that the 25-year-old could well be afforded his season debut at some point over the 90 minutes.

Early in the 2nd-half, Araújo, in turn, was sent out to warm up.

And as much was met by a rousing response on the part of the Barcelona supporters in attendance at Montjuïc.

Upon seeing their side’s defensive stalwart make his way out onto the sideline to go through his paces, the home crowd responded with chants of:

‘Uruguayo! Uruguayo!
