Barcelona squad list for Dortmund showdown: Araujo set for comeback

The Uruguayan defender, who has been out of action since July due to a hamstring injury, is expected to play a limited role as he edges closer to full fitness.

His recovery has been carefully managed, with Barcelona reluctant to rush him back into action. The player's return is a major psychological boost for the team as they navigate a crucial competition phase.

The timing of the centre-back's comeback is significant, with the Catalans needing a positive result to strengthen their position in the Champions League. Borussia Dortmund, currently in third place, pose a formidable challenge, and Araujo's presence, even in a cameo role, could prove vital.
