Barcelona president Joan Laporta has once again stressed the club's total and honest support for Ronald Araujo, after the defender was granted an indefinite leave to focus on his mental well-being.
Softfootball understands that the decision follows the Uruguayan's red card in the 3-0 Champions League loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge , an episode that sparked a wave of criticism and left Araujo reportedly not feeling at his best, mentally or emotionally.
As revealed by sports expert Fabrizio Romano via his official X account , Laporta described Araujo as a deeply emotional and sensitive guy, noting that the centre-back personally thanked him for the club's backing during a tough moment.
