[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, Ronald Araújo has traveled to Israel to restore his mental health, with plans to return to the team after Christmas. Following his red card in the Champions League match between Barcelona and Chelsea at the end of November, Araújo has been struggling mentally and has been unable to participate in matches, which has received approval from the Barcelona coaching staff.Reports indicate that to relax and overcome his psychological barriers, Araújo has decided to embark on a spiritual journey to Israel for a form of mental therapy. A devout believer, Araújo chose to visit the holy sites in Israel to find solace and restore his peace of mind. He hopes to seek all possible help to resolve his mental issues as soon as possible and return to the team to assist Barcelona in matches; this is currently his main objective.As for when Araújo will return to the team, no one can provide a precise timeline, as it all depends on his personal mental recovery. However, various signs suggest that it is most reasonable to expect that he will not play for Barcelona before the end of the year and will return to the team after the Christmas holiday.
