On August 6, 2026, Bournemouth defender Julian Araujo underwent surgery for a left thigh injury he sustained during the club's pre-season friendly match against St Pauli in Austria. The injury occurred during Bournemouth's opening friendly of their pre-season tour. Araujo, who plays for Mexico, will miss the beginning of the new Premier League season. The club stated that Araujo will receive support from its medical team during his recovery. This injury adds to a history of setbacks for the 24-year-old player, including a quadriceps issue while on loan at Celtic in March and being omitted from Mexico's World Cup squad. Bournemouth's Premier League season begins with a match against Manchester City on August 23.
