Barca's Ronald Araujo only has a muscular overload

The defender will not be out for too long which is just as well

Barcelona had some good news on Sunday when they tested Ronald Araujo, who pulled up injured with a muscle problem in his hamstring ahead of the win against Granada.

The club say that it was just a muscle overload, and although they didn’t specify his absence period it means he will not be out for too long. 

Samuel Umtiti stepped into the defence alongside Oscar Mingueza to replace Ronald Araujo, and he had a quiet evening. 

Araujo might miss out in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Real Sociedad in the week.

Clement Lenglet returns from suspension but Gerard Pique is still out injured for the long haul.
