Julian Araujo
24-Year-Old
Celtic
OUT
Injury Quadriceps
Est. Return 8/1/2026
World Cup absence confirmed
Araujo (quadriceps) has been excluded from Mexico's official squad for the 2026 World Cup.
ANALYSIS
Araujo failed to recover in time to be an option for international activity and is ultimately forced to miss the big tournament, having been inactive at the club level since March 8 due to his injury. His omission leaves Israel Reyes and Jorge Eduardo Sanchez as the two right-back alternatives for the Mexican national team. The former LA Galaxy man had a promising start to his loan spell at Celtic before getting hurt. However, he must report to his parent club Bournemouth ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could stay at Celtic for good
Celtic want to sign Araujo on a permanent basis in the summer, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Araujo is on loan at Celtic, but the Mexico international is scheduled to return to Bournemouth in the summer. The Scottish Premier League giants are keen on keeping him around, however, so both teams are expected to talk in the summer over a permanent move. Araujo would probably be a third-string full-back option at Bournemouth.
