Araujo does not miss the World Cup with Uruguay

MADRID, 11 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

FC Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo will be at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, officially convened this Thursday by the Uruguay coach, Diego Alonso, despite being injured since September 23.

The 'Charrúa' team announced the list for the World Cup that starts on November 20 through an emotional video covering the country's geography to reveal one by one those selected by Alonso.

Araujo's shirt is the first to come out, although the Barça center-back has not yet been discharged since he was injured precisely with his national team in a friendly against Iran. The defender underwent surgery for the avulsion of the adductor longus tendon of the right thigh a few days later.

In addition to the Barça player, within the Spanish League, Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde, Atlético defender José María Giménez and Valencia striker Edinson Cavani will also attend Qatar 2022. Uruguay will continue to have veterans such as Fernando Muslera, Diego Godín and Luis Suarez.

The two-time world champion (1930 and 1950) reached the quarterfinals in Russia 2018 and, in Qatar, will face Portugal, Ghana and South Korea in Group H.

The 26 of Uruguay for Qatar 2022 are Fernando Muslera, Sergio Rochet, Sebastian Sosa, Ronald Araújo, Martin Caceres, Sebastian Coates, Jose Maria Gimenez, Diego Godin, Mathias Olivera, Jose Luis Rodriguez, Guillermo Varela, Mathias Vina, Rodrigo Bentancur, Giorgian de Arrascaeta, Augustin Canobbio, Nicolas de la Cruz, Facundo Pellistri, Lucas Torreira, Manuel Ugarte, Federico Valverde, Matthias Vecino, Edinson Cavani, Maximiliano Gomez, Darwin Nunez, Luis Suarez and Facundo Torres.
