Ronald Araujo was back in the Barcelona starting XI against Real Madrid in the Super Cup despite only having surgery on a hand injury five days before.

The Uruguayan picked up the injury in the Copa del Rey win over Linares Deportivo and was forced off at half-time.

Barca subsequently confirmed the defender had actually fractured two metacarpals and would need to go under the knife.

It was initially thought Araujo would be out for a little while, but the Uruguayan was back for the Super Cup and included in the starting XI.

Araujo went on to play the whole game, wearing a protective splint, just days after his surgery which involved having two screws inserted.
