Uruguay's defender Ronald Araujo's Copa America journey came to an abrupt halt as he suffered a muscle injury during the match against Brazil. Specifically, Araujo hurt the back of his left thigh in the first half, leading to his substitution by Jose Maria Gimenez. The Uruguayan Football Association, in an official statement, declared this to be a muscular injury, though specific details about his recovery duration were not disclosed.

Unfortunately for Araujo and Uruguay, this injury will keep the Barcelona center back off the field for an extended period. Reports from Spanish media outlets suggest that Araujo might have to sit out of competition for as long as two months due to this setback. With Uruguay gearing up to face Colombia in the upcoming match, the absence of Araujo will undoubtedly be felt by the team as they strive for a place in the tournament's final.
