See Flamengo games Arrascaeta will miss after Libertadores injury | OneFootball

Arrascaeta is not expected to play for Flamengo again until the 2026 World Cup

Flamengo received very bad news this Wednesday (29), after the 1-1 draw with Estudiantes (ARG) in the third round of the Libertadores. That is because Arrascaeta suffered a fracture to his right clavicle and will have to undergo surgery. As a result, the Uruguayan is not expected to play for Fla again until the World Cup.

What are Flamengo’s matches until the World Cup?

Initially, Flamengo is working with a recovery timeline of at least 45 days for Arrascaeta to return. Therefore, if that estimate is confirmed, the Uruguayan would only be fit to return to the pitch on June 13, during the start of the World Cup. With that, the number 10 would miss all of Fla’s matches until the break for the tournament.

What is Arrascaeta’s situation?

After the fracture to his right clavicle was confirmed, Arrascaeta will undergo surgery this Thursday (30), in Rio de Janeiro. After that, the number 10 will begin treatment with Flamengo’s Medical Department.

How did Arrascaeta’s injury happen?

Right at the start of the first half, Arrascaeta ended up “colliding” with Pivoti, an Estudiantes player. In the fall, Flamengo’s number 10 landed on his arm and felt a lot of pain in his right shoulder.

With the match stopped, Arrascaeta received treatment on the pitch, but was unable to continue and was replaced by Carrascal. Afterwards, the Uruguayan had to go to the hospital for imaging tests.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Without Arrascaeta, Flamengo is putting the Libertadores “aside” and shifting focus back to the Brasileirão. This Sunday (03), the Rubro-Negro faces Vasco at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the 14th round of the national championship.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vasco through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Rio derby.
