The Flamengo squad had Friday (22) off, but Arrascaeta is already concerned about the sequence of games in the season. Even without a scheduled training session at the CT Ninho do Urubu, the Mengão's number 10 received 'special treatment' at home.
Through social media, Arrascaeta shared a video in which he appeared to be undergoing a procedure on his right thigh, which seemed to be some kind of localized massage. The treatment was being administered by Laniyan Neves, Flamengo's physiotherapist.

It's worth noting that Arrascaeta is not injured. In other words, after enjoying his day off, the Uruguayan will rejoin his teammates at the CT Ninho do Urubu as normal. The return is scheduled for 9:30 am (Brasília time) on Saturday (23).
Arrascaeta is having an excellent time with Flamengo. In addition to reaching the milestone of 100 assists for goals with the Mengão, the midfielder is in a prolific phase. So far, he has scored 15 goals, just three shy of the mark he achieved in 2019 with the Rubro-Negro.
Last Wednesday (20), Arrascaeta was once again crucial to Flamengo's victory over Internacional at the Beira-Rio. On that occasion, the number 10 scored the first goal for the Mengão. With Pedro also scoring, the Mais Querido secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores, where they will face Estudiantes (ARG).
With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo returns to the field to face Vitória in the 21st round of the Brasileirão. The match takes place at 9 pm (Brasília time) on Monday (25) at the Maracanã. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will provide all the details of the match with on-site coverage from reporters Leo José and Rodrigo Lima on YouTube. Finally, the match will be broadcast on Premiere (pay-per-view).
