Why is Arrascaeta out of Flamengo’s matches?


Arrascaeta suffered an injury to his right clavicle and had to undergo surgery. For this reason, the No. 10 is out of Flamengo’s matches. The midfielder, however, has already begun the process of returning to the pitch.

This Tuesday (06), Arrascaeta went to Ninho do Urubu and started treatment to return to the pitch. The midfielder, accompanied by Márcio Puglia, Flamengo’s physiotherapist, did exercises in the club’s gym.

Will Arrascaeta be able to play in the World Cup?

Arrascaeta is ‘racing against time’ to play for Flamengo again. In addition, the midfielder knows he needs to speed up the process to be available for Uruguay in the World Cup.

The World Cup begins in mid-June, meaning Arrascaeta has about a month and a half to recover and make Uruguay’s squad list. Until then, the midfielder will remain under the supervision of Flamengo’s physiotherapists.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Without Arrascaeta, Flamengo face Independiente Medellín (COL) this Thursday (07) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Colombia, in the fourth round of the Libertadores group stage. The match will be broadcast on ESPN, on pay TV, and on Disney+ via streaming.
