Barcelona issue update on Ronald Araujo after being rushed to hospital with head injury

Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo has been discharged from hospital after suffering a head injury which marred their 3-1 victory over Celta Vigo.

The 23-year-old was invovled in a sickening clash of heads with teammate Gavi during Tuesday's match and was rushed to hospital in an ambulance that came onto the Camp Nou pitch. Araujo and the Spain international were challenging for a looping ball in the 62nd minute and, while Gavi went down immediately, the Uruguayan initially raced back to his position before suddenly dropping to the floor.

Manager Xavi Hernandez confirmed post-match that Araujo was out of danger and Barcelona have since issued an official statement confirming the good news that he has been discharged. "Complementary tests on first-team player Ronald Araujo have been successful and he has been discharged from the hospital," the club tweeted on Wednesday. "The evolution will mark his availability."
