Barça’s Uruguayan centre-back lost consciousness after colliding with his team-mate Gavi in the match against Celta and was taken to hospital although he was already conscious
Big scare at Camp Nou. Ronald Araujo had to be taken to hospital after the Barça central defender had a violent clash with his team-mate Gavi when both tried to reach a divided ball in the 60th minute of the match between the Barça team and Celta. The Uruguayan footballer’s head collided with the head of the Andalusian midfielder, the first of which was the worst off.
Although Araujo tried to drive on, he was soon forced to lie down on the grass due to dizziness that caused him to lose consciousness for a moment. His teammates’ concern was notable when they skipped medical attention, who immobilized the defender on a stretcher as he waited for the ambulance to take him out of the playing field. Fortunately, the Uruguayan immediately regained consciousness and allowed Camp Nou to breathe a sigh of relief after moments of great fear.
Anyway, and as per protocol, Araujo was taken to the hospital to undergo the relevant medical tests. “First-team player Ronald Araujo has a concussion and has been taken to a hospital to conduct additional tests,” Barca said in a brief statement shortly afterwards.
