Press reports revealed the player who will be the victim of Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo after his return to the first-team roster at Barcelona.
Barcelona achieved a dramatic victory in the last match between the Catalan team and Borussia Dortmund of Germany, winning 3-2, which raised Barcelona’s points to 15, placing them second in the Champions League standings.
According to information from the Catalan newspaper “El Nacional”, Ronald Araujo’s return to the Barcelona roster will force Hansi Flick to sacrifice one of the Catalan defensive duo.
The newspaper added that Hansi Flick has decided to send the young defender Pau Coparsi to the bench immediately after Araujo returns to the lineup, while keeping Inigo Martinez as a starter.
The newspaper indicated that while Flick is very impressed with the young defender, Coparsi has made several mistakes and blunders that have cost the team many goals recently.
The newspaper concluded that Coparsi is the first to be affected by Ronald Araujo’s return, and he may not be the last if Flick decides to exclude Kounde and have Araujo play in the right-back position.
