Arrascaeta breaks wrist with Uruguay, out of Fla-Flu | OneFootball

Rival midfielder suffers injury during a friendly in the FIFA international window

Midfielder Arrascaeta suffered a fracture in his left wrist this Monday (28) during Uruguay’s 4-1 win over South Korea, and has been confirmed as unavailable for Flamengo in the coming rounds. With an estimated recovery time of six weeks, the player will not be on the field for the derby against Fluminense in the Brazilian Championship. The information was reported by ESPN journalist Pedro Ivo.

The rival club’s medical department is pessimistic about an early return, expecting the player to be back only in mid-November. Any possible appearance in the Fla-Flu would depend on an exceptional recovery within four weeks, a scenario considered unlikely internally.

The head-to-head clash between Fluminense and Flamengo is scheduled for Sunday, October 11, in the Brasileirão. Before the derby, Tricolor will return to the field right after the end of the FIFA international window to face Coritiba, also in the national competition.
