Ronald Araujo rushed to hospital after clash of heads
Scary scenes at the Camp Nou
Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo was rushed straight to hospital after suffering a nasty head injury against Celta on Tuesday.

Araujo initially seemed OK and ran off but then collapsed onto the pitch and the players quickly signalled for the medical staff to come on and treat the defender.
An ambulance subsequently arrived and Araujo was stretchered into the back and then taken to hospital. The game was stopped for almost 10 minutes because of the incident.
