Back in squad
Araujo (personal/suspension) is back in the squad for Thursday's Copa del Rey game against Racing Club, the club posted.
ANALYSIS
Araujo is back available for Barcelona and was included in the match squad for Thursday's Copa del Rey clash against Racing Club. The center-back seems to be feeling better mentally wise and should be an option for the Blaugranas moving forward, although he remains suspended for the game against Slavia Prague on Jan. 21 in the Champions League. Araujo will likely resume a bench role for the Catalans as he will likely remain a backup option in central defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chelsea looking at him
Chelsea are interested in signing Araujo, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Araujo is one of the top targets for Chelsea, but the Blues aren't expected to make a move for him in January. They're far more likely to launch a serious offer for the services of the Uruguay international in the summer after the 2026 World Cup. Araujo has lost his starting role at Barcelona, so there's a chance he might be willing to switch teams if his situation doesn't change in the coming months.
