See the injuries Flamengo's Arrascaeta suffered in 2026

Remember the injuries Arrascaeta suffered at Flamengo and with the Uruguay National Team during the year

Arrascaeta has dealt with several injuries throughout the 2026 season. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla reminds you of the injuries Flamengo’s No. 10 has suffered this year.

Arrascaeta’s first injury in 2026 happened on April 29, in the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG), still in the Libertadores group stage. At Estadio Uno, the player had a “collision” with an opponent. As he fell, the Uruguayan landed on his shoulder, fracturing the clavicle in his right shoulder.

Given the situation, Arrascaeta began an intensive recovery effort because of the approaching World Cup. That was because the player was on Uruguay’s call-up list for the tournament.

During that period, Arrascaeta progressed through recovery stages and even reported to Uruguay before the agreed date. As a result, all treatment remained under the supervision of the ‘Celeste’ medical department.

ARRASCAETA SUFFERED A CALF INJURY WHILE ON WORLD CUP DUTY WITH URUGUAY

With progress in recovering from the clavicle fracture, Arrascaeta was showing signs that he might be fit to play for Uruguay in the World Cup. However, in one of the training sessions, the midfielder suffered an injury to his right calf.

As a result, Arrascaeta was unable to recover in time and missed the 2026 World Cup. During that period, Flamengo even contacted Uruguay’s medical department to understand the real reason behind yet another injury to the player.

At first, Arrascaeta was in a lot of pain, but there was no clear diagnosis. Afterwards, Flamengo’s No. 10 underwent medical exams, which concluded that the player had fractured his left wrist.
