Arrascaeta's recovery timeline after wrist fracture explained | OneFootball

Flamengo received very bad news this Monday, the 28th, with midfielder Arrascaeta’s injury. The player was substituted in the 32nd minute of the second half during Uruguay’s match against South Korea on the Asian continent. Arrascaeta fell and used his left arm to brace himself.

The midfielder left the field complaining of pain in his wrist and underwent tests. Flamengo received the results and reported the need for surgery to correct the injury. However, the Uruguayan’s situation will be reassessed after his return to Brazil.

“Fernando Sassaki, doctor for Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, has just received the results of the tests carried out in South Korea on midfielder De Arrascaeta. A fracture in the left wrist was confirmed, with surgery recommended. The player will return to Brazil, where he will be reassessed before the procedure and will continue his recovery,” said the statement released by Flamengo.

Even without a timetable set by the club, Arrascaeta is unlikely to be fit to play on October 15, in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinal, in Argentina. The return leg will take place on the 22nd at the Maracanã.

Arrascaeta had a great game against South Korea

Uruguay beat South Korea 4-1 on the morning of Monday the 28th, in the country’s second friendly during the FIFA international window. The match marked Diego Forlán’s first win in charge of the national team. The standout performers this morning were Arrascaeta and Guillermo Varela, both Flamengo players.

Darwin Núñez opened the scoring in the 13th minute. The detail is that the assist for Uruguay’s first goal came from Arrascaeta’s feet. Flamengo’s number 10 was in the spotlight again in the 27th minute of the first half. Arrascaeta struck from outside the box and hit a beautiful shot to score the second goal.

From that moment on, Flamengo full-back Guillermo Varela became even more involved in the match. In the final minutes of the first half, Varela burst down the right, entered the box and scored his first goal for the Uruguayan national team.

Uruguay were cruising and, in the second half, saw Guillermo Varela become important once again on the field. The Flamengo player delivered a cross for Núñez to score for the second time in the match.
