BARCELONA, Spain (AP) – Barcelona central defender Ronald Araujo will miss Tuesday’s La Liga game against Atl\u00e9tico Madrid for personal reasons, coach Hansi Flick announced.<\/p>\n

According to Spanish media, the player’s agent met with Barcelona on Monday and reportedly told the club that Araujo needed time away to care for his mental health.<\/p>\n

Araujo did not play in Saturday’s 3-1 win against Alaves, with the club saying he was suffering from a stomach virus.<\/p>\n

Araujo was sent off just before half-time in last week’s 3-0 Champions League defeat to Chelsea.<\/p>\n

“Araujo is not ready yet,” Flick said on Monday. “That’s a private situation.”<\/p>\n

Flick declined to provide further details about Araujo’s situation and asked the media to respect that.<\/p>\n

Barcelona leads the Spanish league. After 14 matches, they are only one point behind second-place Real Madrid. Atl\u00e9tico are in fourth place, three points behind the Catalan club.<\/p>\n

“We know we’re going to play a great team with quality,” Flick said. “It’s going to be a tough battle.”<\/p>\n
