Barcelona defender Araujo: I'll do whatever Bielsa wants for Uruguay

Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo says he's happy to play where needed for Urguay.

Araujo is eager to help new Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa.

He explained, "Marcelo, when he counts on a player, it's not just one position, but also in more positions. I still don't know which position I'll play in, full-back, centre-back, but I'm available. Obviously, I feel more comfortable playing in the middle of defence...

"I think I can contribute a lot to the team in the first phase with the ball, covering spaces and on the long ball, but that's the coach's decision.

"I'm here to contribute and to work together with my teammates."
