Arrascaeta and Varela in Uruguay draw with Algeria, Flamengo man out | OneFootball

How did the Uruguay vs Algeria match go this Tuesday (31)?

The second ‘window’ of friendlies during this FIFA international break began this Tuesday (31). As a result, Uruguay faced Algeria in Italy and ended up with a goalless draw. In the match, Arrascaeta and Varela started, while De La Cruz came on in stoppage time.

Marcelo Bielsa started Arrascaeta and Varela in both of ‘La Celeste’s’ matches during this FIFA international break. That means the Flamengo duo now appear likely to have already secured their spots with Uruguay for the 2026 World Cup.

De La Cruz is another Flamengo player who is consistently included in Bielsa’s call-ups. However, Marcelo Bielsa did not use the midfielder in the match against England on Friday (27), and gave him only a few minutes against Algeria this Tuesday (31).

DID FLAMENGO HAVE ANOTHER PLAYER IN URUGUAY’S MATCHES?

Yes! Even though he is playing for River Plate (ARG), Matías Viña is still a Flamengo player, since he is under contract with the club until 2027. In Uruguay’s match against England, the left back played. Against Algeria, however, he remained on the bench.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S LOGISTICS PLAN TO HAVE URUGUAY’S PLAYERS AVAILABLE FOR THE NEXT MATCH?

With Uruguay’s FIFA international break commitments now over, the Flamengo players are preparing to return to Brazil. As a result, the Rubro-Negro will wait for Arrascaeta, De La Cruz and Varela in São Paulo on Wednesday (01), where the team will face Red Bull Bragantino on Thursday (02) in the Brasileirão.
