Koeman provides worrying update on Araujo as Barcelona injury crisis deepens

Luckily, our next games shouldn't be really tough.

"[Ronald] Araujo trains individually and won't be available this week," Ronald Koeman told the media after the Atletico Madrid game.

This basically means that Barcelona are left with just one fit centre-back, Clement Lenglet.

Gerard Pique is set to miss at least 4-8 weeks.

Ronald Araujo is unavailable at least until December.

Samuel Umtiti is said to be injured again.

As a reminder, Ronald Koeman has already played Frenkie de Jong as a centre-back this season. Besides, the Dutchman included Barca B's Oscar Mingueza in match squads, so his emergence remains possible too.

Barca will play the next games against Dynamo Kyiv (away on Tuesday) and Osasuna (at home on Sunday).
