WHAT WAS ARRASCAETA’S SCHEDULE LIKE BEFORE THE SURGERY?

Planning for Arrascaeta’s return began as soon as the player fractured his left wrist in Uruguay’s match against South Korea during the FIFA international window. As a result, on Wednesday (30), the No. 10 arrived in Rio de Janeiro to begin the final steps ahead of surgery. As he left Galeão Airport, the player appeared to be in pain in the area.

Early this Thursday (01), Arrascaeta was admitted to a hospital in Rio de Janeiro’s South Zone to undergo the final pre-op exams. With all the results cleared, the player then underwent surgery on his left wrist. A plate was inserted in the area.

HOW DID ARRASCAETA’S FRACTURE HAPPEN?

Last Monday (28), Arrascaeta fell on the pitch by himself, with all his weight landing on the left side of his body. As he tried to brace his fall, the midfielder fractured his wrist and left the field in a lot of pain.

WHAT IS THE EXPECTED TIMELINE FOR ARRASCAETA’S RETURN?

Now that the surgery has been completed, Flamengo will closely monitor Arrascaeta’s recovery. In the most optimistic scenario, the club’s staff are hoping for a quick return from the player, which could allow him to feature for the Rubro-Negro in a possible Libertadores final scheduled for late November. However, it is already certain that the No. 10 will miss Mengo’s next match of the season, as well as the clashes against Estudiantes (ARG) in the continental competition.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Without Arrascaeta, Flamengo return to action next Thursday (08) against Santos in the Brasileirão. In short, kick-off is at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the game.
