World Sports: Araujo and Bernal voluntarily shorten holidays and start training this week

According to World Sports, Araujo and Bernal voluntarily shortened their holidays and began training this week.

reported that Barcelona is starting pre-season training at its best, and Araujo and Bernal have applied to return to the team one week early. The two voluntarily shortened their holidays and launched a two-week personal special training program this week under the supervision of the Barcelona coaching staff.

Araujo was troubled by injuries last season. He had never recovered from his best condition after a serious injury to his right thigh hamstring. This early training aims to regain the physical feeling and the rhythm of the game, and strive to show the strongest strength during joint training.

​Bernal suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscus at the beginning of last season. After 10 months of hard recovery, he is close to his return. The original recovery period was as long as one year, but its recovery progress far exceeded expectations and is expected to participate in the pre-season tour with the team. Barcelona attaches great importance to Bernal's potential. The two sides have reached an agreement on renewal until 2029, and the final arrangements need to be determined through medical evaluation.

In addition, the entire Barcelona team will officially gather for a physical examination on July 13, and the early training of Araujo and Bernal also demonstrates their determination for the new season.
