The Catalan club had to pay dearly for the victory over Betis.

As part of the 22nd round of the Spanish La Liga, Catalan Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwith serious efforts, managed to beat the Seville Betis away in an effective match (3: 2).

However, this game began with far from good news for the coaching staff of Ronald Koeman.. Already in the seventh minute, Blaugranas central defender Ronald Araujo unsuccessfully stepped on his pivot foot, performing a pass to the front line of attack, as a result of which he was forced to leave the field ahead of schedule.

Together with the Uruguayan, the nominal midfielder Frankie de Jong appeared on the field, who once again had to close an atypical position for himself.

According to preliminary information published on the official website of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bRonald Araujo was diagnosed with an ankle sprain on his left leg at the initial stage.. In the near future, the player will undergo an additional in-depth examination, after which it will be possible to assert the severity of this damage and the timing of recovery.

With a high degree of probability, Araujo will be forced to miss the next game of his team, in which Barcelona will face Andalusian Sevilla in the away match of the Spanish Cup semi-final. The game is scheduled for February 10.
