Africa-Press – Ghana. Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo is a surprise inclusion to Uruguay’s provisional squad for the upcoming 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The centre-back was declared a major doubt for the World Cup after undergoing successful surgery in late September for an adductor longus avulsion injury in his right thigh, but he has been named to the 55-man squad, which was released on Friday.
Luis Suarez, whose deliberate handball prevented Ghana from reaching the tournament’s semi-finals in 2010, is in the squad, as are Edison Cavani, Diego Godin, Fernando Muslera and Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde, who is in top form.
