Barcelona defender Dani Alves has dubbed Ronald Araujo a "battler".
Alves has been impressed by the Uruguay defender since his New Year return.
He said, “He's an essential type of player in the squad. Every team needs players of his profile. Battlers. People with strength, character. He's naturally like that.
"He can be a big leader in the dressing room in the reconstruction process. When the veterans, we leave in time, people like him will have to take a step forward. It's very important in a team to count on players like Ronald. Football is not about putting on shorts and going out to play.
"You need more to create a good atmosphere. We are well served by the youngsters. Us veterans try and soak up what they teach us."
