Barcelona are reportedly working on a plan to have Ronald Araujo and Raphinha available for [Thursday’s match against Osasuna in La Liga](https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2025/3/18/24387957/what-mess-barcelona-and-osasuna-plan-to-appeal-new-date-for-rescheduled-la-liga-clash).
The duo are currently doubtful for the game as they are both in South America for World Cup qualifiers for Brazil and Uruguay.
According to Diario Sport, Barca want to have both players available for Thursday’s match and are currently trying to find a way to make it happen.
The report states Barca are thinking about using a private plane to bring Araujo and Raphinha home along with the internationals who play for Real and Atletico Madrid.
We’re talking Vinicius Jr, Endrick, Rodrigo De Paul, Angel Correa, Fede Valverde et al.
The idea is for Araujo and Raphinha to land back in Barcelona on Wednesday evening and be part of the squad list.
It seems highly unlikely they would start the game but they could both take a place on the bench and have some minutes if needed.
Barcelona are also hoping that Araujo could potentially return earlier than that, as there’s a [slight chance he might not play against Bolivia](https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2025/3/20/24390219/could-ronald-araujo-return-early-from-international-duty-to-play-for-barcelona) and could be released at the weekend.
