Julian Araujo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Undergoes hamstring surgery Araujo has undergone hamstring surgery and is set to miss three to six months, according to his club.

Impact Araujo is heading to the sidelines for a long spell, with the defender undergoing surgery on his left hamstring following his appearance in Saturday's match. This will be an unfortunate loss for the club, as he had started in five of his eight appearances and was likely to see decent time at right-back this campaign. He should still return this season, although it won't be until the new year, with Adam Smith likely to continue at right-back while Araujo is out.

Alternating at right-back Araujo has made three starts across five appearances in Bournemouth's first seven matches of the current Premier League campaign.

Impact The Mexican defender started against Newcastle, Everton and Liverpool, but he hasn't returned to the side since the 3-0 defeat to the Reds on Sep. 21, with Adam Smith getting the nod at right-back in the Cherries' last two matches. Although a potential rotation is not out of the question, that situation wouldn't boost Araujo's fantasy upside, especially if he doesn't take advantage of his opportunities.

Transfers to Bournemouth Araujo has completed a transfer to Bournemouth from Barcelona, according to his new club.

Impact Araujo is switching from Spanish football to English football, having signed a five-year deal with Bournemouth. He arrives having served last season on loan with Las Palmas, starting in 15 of his 25 appearances while notching one goal, 10 interceptions, 41 tackles and 43 clearances. He could see decent time this season, likely serving in a rotational role but having the chance to compete with Max Aarons for starting time.

Returns to Barcelona Araujo is returning to Barcelona following his loan with Las Palmas.

Impact Araujo's one-year loan has hit its end, with the defender now being set to return to his parent club, Barcelona. He appeared in 28 matches while he was with Las Palmas, starting in about half of those games while notching two goals. It will be interesting to see what happens to the player this season, as it is somewhat likely he will be sent on loan again.

This was the forward's first goal and first goal contribution of the season.
