Barcelona beat Celta Vigo, but win overshadowed by Ronald Araujo's injury

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice as Barcelona tightened their grip on second place in La Liga on Tuesday with a 3-1 win at home to Celta Vigo.

Araujo was lifted into the ambulance on a stretcher, wearing a neck brace. Barcelona confirmed the 23-year-old "suffered a concussion and has been taken to the hospital to undergo further testing". After the game, Barca coach Xavi Hernandez said: "The doctor has told us he is conscious. He will spend the night in hospital but he is out of danger. "The doctor said we shouldn't worry, that he will spend the night in hospital as a precaution, nothing more."

Xavi Hernández llegará al partido del domingo ante el Getafe con una plantilla diezmada por las bajas.

A estas bajas, habrá que esperar si finalmente se recupera a tiempo Ronald Araújo, tras abandonar el Camp Nou en ambulancia por culpa de una fuerte conmoción.
