Arrascaeta breaks wrist on Uruguay duty as Flamengo indicate surgery | OneFootball

Arrascaeta sustained a left wrist injury while playing for Uruguay against South Korea in Seoul on Monday, then addressed the setback on social media.

The club said in a statement that the fracture has been confirmed with surgery indicated, and its medical team will reassess him once he returns to Brazil.

The injury occurred when he fell and braced with his left hand, prompting an immediate withdrawal. He was replaced by Rodrigo Salazar in the 32nd minute of the second half.

Initial assessments described a left forearm trauma, and he was taken to a local clinic for detailed tests.

On his account he posted a photo from the moment of injury and a faith-based message expressing that trust in God removes fear and that no problem or storm exceeds divine power.

Uruguay won 4-1, the first victory for head coach Diego Forlán with La Celeste. Flamengo are next in action on 8 October against Santos at Vila Belmiro in the Campeonato Brasileiro.
