Fit for Colombia clash
Araujo (undisclosed) returned to full training on Wednesday and is confirmed as an option for coach Roberto Martinez ahead of Saturday's decisive group stage finale against Colombia, according to A Bola.
Analysis: Araujo had missed the win over Uzbekistan due to physical issues but his return to the pitch comes with no fresh fitness concerns reported from the squad. Portugal trained with their full group of players, with Ruben Dias also back after missing the opener with a minor injury, giving manager Roberto Martinez a completely healthy squad to choose from for what promises to be their toughest test of the group stage.
Out Tuesday
Araujo (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's match against Uzbekistan, according to SIC Noticias.
Analysis: Araujo is not going to be with the Portuguese team for their final group stage match, as the defender is missing due to physical issues. After starting their opener, this will force some rotation for Portugal, with a recovered Ruben Dias likely to start in his place. The central defense will then likely be made up of Renato Veiga and Dias as they try to recover from a shocking opening match draw against DR Congo. Araujo will no fucos on recovery for their final group stage match against Colombia, likely to be their toughest challenge in the group.
