Uruguay out of Copa, Flamengo trio set to miss Portugal camp | OneFootball

Which Flamengo players were available to Uruguay?

Uruguay were eliminated from the 2026 World Cup this Friday (26) after a 1-0 loss to Spain in the final round of the group stage. With that, Coluna do Fla brings the plan for the three Flamengo players called up for the tournament: Arrascaeta, Varela and De La Cruz.

According to journalist Mônica Alves from Coluna do Fla, Flamengo’s three players will be given ten days off. However, that period will only start counting once the athletes are officially released by Uruguay, which should happen this Monday (29).

In addition, the ten-day period is considered an average. That is because the players could return early to Flamengo’s training center if necessary, should they feel the need to maintain their physical conditioning. In other words, the chances of Arrascaeta, Varela and De La Cruz taking part in the preseason camp in Portugal are very low.

What was the Uruguay vs Spain match like?

For Uruguay, only a win mattered. However, Marcelo ‘El Loco’ Bielsa’s team had great difficulty creating chances. In attack, the team’s best player was Canobbio, who usually stands out for tracking back defensively rather than taking shots on goal.

Spain, meanwhile, who were not having a great match either, were handed a gift by Muslera. In the 42nd minute of the first half, Álex Baena hit a very weak shot, but the Uruguayan goalkeeper simply parried it into his own net, conceding a huge howler. With the defeat, Uruguay said goodbye to the tournament.
