Uruguay defender Araujo out of Copa America
Ronald Araujo will miss Uruguay's Copa America semi-final against Colombia and the rest of the tournament due to a hamstring injury.
The Barcelona centre-back sustained the muscle issue before the interval in Sunday's shoot-out victory over Brazil in the last eight.
Araujo was removed by Marcelo Bielsa, who sent on Atletico Madrid's Jose Maria Gimenez as Uruguay and Brazil shared a goalless draw across 120 minutes of action.
The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) confirmed that Araujo will not be available for the remainder of the competition, starting with Wednesday's last-four clash against Colombia.
"After the studies carried out, it was confirmed that it was a muscular injury," the AUF said in a short statement.
No timescales were provided by the AUF for Araujo's recovery, though reports in Spain suggest the 25 year-old could be out for up to two months.
Araujo will be a sore miss for Bielsa, with the defender leading all Uruguay players at the tournament for aerial duels won (18) and clearances (15).
