Bournemouth have been handed an injury boost as defender Julian Araujo has been granted permission to return to training.
That’s according to the Mexican edition of AS, who report that the defender is ‘aiming for a comeback’ after several months out of action.
Araujo has been missing for three months, having picked up a hamstring which has limited him to 355 minutes for Bournemouth this season after arriving in the summer transfer window.
He underwent surgery on a hamstring injury in the middle of November and has been absent since, adding to Bournemouth’s long injury list in recent months.
He has not been ‘released to return’ to training by the club’s medical team, though, and it is hoped that he can make a quick return to the Bournemouth first team and bolster Andoni Iraola’s options.
He’s unlikely to be ready in time for their clash with Wolves on Saturday, although AS do say that a few minutes at the end of the game could be all that is needed to begin his reintegration into the squadEither way, his return will be a timely boost for the end of the season as Bournemouth look to finish the season strongly.
