He came off v Spurs with tight hamstring then plays 90 mins a few days later away to Getafe.

Wouldnt be suprised if they took a chance and it backfired.

Xavi did the same with Fati and fucked him for near on a year.

We really need him fit ASAP because the defense is not the same without him. His injuries and condition should be treated with the utmost caution, it is known how injury-prone he is, why risk him if he was carrying a knock?

That could cost us the season, genuinely, if this is a long-term injury.

The defense is not that great without him. It's why we went out of the UCL group stage last season. Basically him not being available.

He's the most important player in the team by a mile. It's hard to see in La Liga because it's such a shit league, even without him our defense doesn't get exposed as much as it should.

But against any half decent team in Europe, it will become abundantly clear that this team has Araujodepencia.

WTF I didn't even know he was injured vs Spurs. To play at all vs Getafe much less RB is insane.

Sadism.

Football crimes highest order.

Sick.

Not only that, but played him RB making him run up and down all game.
Is it really surprising though when Xavi's staff is full of inexperienced people like one of the top physios he has hired.

The absolute bare minimum when it comes to qualifications and barely any top level experience apart from one year at Leeds.....

Xavi's staff is full of amateurs like his brothers. He has basically hired his friends and family as his coaching and physio staff.

Like Araujo as a player but he's definitely brittle.

Not Xavi's fault.

Being injury prone either ruins your career at the top level or you can be a Robben, Ribery, Bale type where whenever you return you're just back to being world class instantly.


Barca has Christensen, who is seen as 3rd choice(imo he's your best CB). So he can play whenever Araujo is unavailable.

How come only players that are notorious for having frequent injuries under multiple managers get injured.

How come Raphinha, De Jong, the others almost never get injuried? :lol: It's always Dembele, Araujo, Pedri... Please...

Everything is Xavi's fault. :lol:

Nah you are the one that used to blame coaches and their training.

One of many rules not applied for Xavi though.....despite fact Xavi is playing these players days after came off as a precaution or playing them more minutes than advised.

If other coaches did similar then would get called on it.

But from those who used to blame coaches/training methods for likes of Dembele and Araujo getting injured... rules change completly and now laugh at those who in any way blame coach.

Usual.
