Following injuries to Jules Kounde and Memphis Depay, Barcelona suffered another blow after Ronald Araujo was forced off in Uruguay's friendly against Iran.

Barcelona have suffered another injury blow after Ronald Araujo was forced off in Uruguay's international friendly against Iran.

The 23-year-old, who has started all six La Liga games this season, lined up alongside Sebastian Caceres in the centre of Uruguay's defence in the 1-0 defeat to Iran.

However, he was quickly replaced by Agustin Rogel in the fifth minute after suffering discomfort in his right adductor muscle.

Araujo's injury is another concern for Barcelona, who already saw Jules Kounde and Memphis Depay sustain injuries for France and the Netherlands respectively.

Kounde had to be withdrawn in the 23rd minute of France's 2-0 win over Austria in the UEFA Nations League, while Depay was also forced off in his country's 2-0 victory against Poland.

Frenkie de Jong and Ousmane Dembele also picked up knocks in their international appearances, which will add to Barcelona's injury worries ahead of a busy schedule with nine matches set to be played in October.
