Arrascaeta will be unavailable for Flamengo in the upcoming matches due to a fracture in his right collarbone. Given the situation, forward Samuel Lino lamented the Uruguayan’s absence from the team’s upcoming fixtures and also made it clear that the squad is fully behind Flamengo’s number 10.

— Very bad news for us. Not only because of how important he is on the pitch, but also because of the person he is. He is our captain. Those are the two main points. Arrascaeta helps us a lot and brings a lot of quality on the field. But he’s going to recover properly and soon he’ll be back with us again. Our group is united behind him -, Samuel Lino told ‘GETV’.
