Besides the result of the surgery, Flamengo’s number 10 also showed moments of leisure and training in his home country. His son Milano appeared lying on his back next to a pet. In the next image, the star showed strengthening exercises.

What was Arrascaeta’s injury?

Mengão was facing Estudiantes (ARG) in the Libertadores group stage when the number 10 got involved in a challenge for the ball. The Uruguayan came off worse and fell onto his own shoulder. He then underwent surgery the following day to repair the fractured collarbone.

So why did Flamengo release Arrascaeta?

The Uruguayan’s injury put the player’s participation in the World Cup at risk. So, the idea behind releasing him is for the Uruguay national team to assess the chances of having him for the tournament. In this way, the number 10 is trying to speed up his recovery as a last-ditch effort to make the competition.

How is Flamengo doing without Arrascaeta?

Without Arrascaeta, Flamengo face Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (20) in the fifth round of Group A of the Libertadores. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time at the Maracanã, with coverage from Coluna do Fla.
