Learn about the duration of Ronald Araujo’s absence from Barcelona after he was sent off against Valencia in the Spanish League, and the possibility of his absence from the El Clasico match against Real Madrid.
Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo received a direct red card during his team’s match against Valencia, which was held in the 24th round of the 2022-23 season competitions in the Spanish League Championship.
Araujo’s expulsion comes one match before facing Real Madrid in the 26th round of “La Liga”, in a Clasico match that may determine the final form of the Spanish league champion in the current season.
Barcelona fans are currently living in a state of anxiety after Araujo’s expulsion, especially since he is one of the most prominent stars of the “Blaugrana” in recent times, and he leads the defense in an ideal way, reinforcing the Catalan club’s pursuit of the Spanish League title.

In the following report from Goal.com, we learn about the duration of Araujo’s absence after he was sent off against Valencia, and the possibility of his absence from El Clasico.
How long is Ronald Araujo suspended after being sent off against Valencia?
According to the regulations issued by the Spanish Football Federation, which regulates the process of yellow and red cards, the duration of a player’s suspension after receiving a direct red card depends on several factors.

If a player is sent off for violent behaviour, the term of the suspension is three matches.
But if the expulsion was due to what is called professional interference, the penalty is suspension for one match.

If a player is aggressive towards the referee and says inappropriate words after being sent off, this may result in a ban of two or more matches.
In the event of an expulsion after receiving two yellow cards, the penalty will be a one-match ban.
And in the case of Araujo, the player was expelled with a professional intervention, after stopping Hugo Duro, the Valencia striker, and preventing him from being alone with his team’s goal, so his punishment is likely to be a one-match suspension.
Therefore, the absence of Ronald Araujo from facing Athletic Bilbao, which will be held next Sunday for the 25th round of the Spanish League at the “San Mames” stadium, is certain.
Will Ronald Araujo miss El Clasico?
Barcelona will host Real Madrid on Sunday, March 19, at the “Spotify Camp Nou” stadium, but what is Araujo’s position on El Clasico after he was sent off against Valencia?
Araujo did not make any reaction after receiving the red card, and went straight off the field, so the option of a two-match suspension is excluded at the present time.
But the duration of the suspension will ultimately depend on the referee’s report, and the penalties that the Spanish Football Federation will announce for round 24 of “La Liga”, which are expected to be revealed in the next few days.
