Julian Araujo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Continues recovery from surgery Araujo (thigh) is still working his way back to full fitness nearly three months after he had surgery on his left thigh, per reporter Julio Rodriguez.

Impact Araujo remains sidelined for practically the remainder of the calendar year as he rebuilds fitness following his preseason thigh injury and surgery. The defender posted a video of his rehabilitation in which he's seen running on grass, but still away from ball drills. Although he's not a primary option, his absence limits Bournemouth's right-back depth until he is cleared for competitive action. In any case, it will be difficult for him to earn a role in the competition with Adam Smith and Juanlu this season.
