Maxi Araujo Injury: Dealing with quad injury

Araujo is dealing with a quadriceps injury sustained in a league match against Casa Pia on Aug. 8, according to The Portugal Post.

The diagnosis of the injury was a Grade 2 strain, meaning the recovery process should take between five to six weeks. Araujo wasn't called up to the Uruguay NT for the September matches in the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers, and his presence to face Kairat on Sep. 18 in the 2025/26 UCL opener is uncertain.
