Xavi Hernandez has confirmed that Ronald Araujo is conscious in hospital after being taken off the pitch in an ambulance during Barcelona's 3-1 victory over Celta Vigo.
The 23-year-old was involved in a sickening clash of heads with teammate Gavi. In the 62nd minute, the two Blaugrana players were challenging for the ball just inside their own half when they accidentally collided. While Gavi escaped without significant treatment, Araujo stayed on his feet. But as he was running back towards his own goal, the 23-year-old suddenly fell down.
An ambulance was quickly brought onto the pitch, as Araujo was rushed to hospital to be treated. It was there that Xavi and co received the good news, with the Barca boss telling reporters post-match: "Araujo is conscious, out of danger. [The] doctor tells us not to worry."
