Arrascaeta’s injury raises major concern about the future of the number 10 in Flamengo’s final stretch of the season. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla sought information to understand the player’s real situation and whether the Uruguayan is a concern for the clashes against Estudiantes (ARG) in the Libertadores semifinal.
According to reporter Mônica Alves, from Coluna do Fla, Flamengo was treating Arrascaeta’s situation with great concern, since the problem is not that simple. However, on Monday afternoon (28), the club confirmed the fracture in his left wrist and, as a result, the player will undergo surgery.
Given this situation, Arrascaeta would have just over two weeks to recover. Therefore, the tendency is for the number 10 to miss the matches against Estudiantes. Behind the scenes, the Rubro-Negro is even working with the possibility of only having the player back for a potential Libertadores final.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ARRASCAETA IN THE URUGUAY VS SOUTH KOREA MATCH?
Arrascaeta is with Uruguay during this FIFA international window. In one play, the player slipped and fell onto his forearm. As soon as it happened, the midfielder left the pitch in a lot of pain. Before that, however, Flamengo’s number 10 had scored a stunning goal in La Celeste’s win over South Korea.
WHAT IS ARRASCAETA’S SITUATION NOW?
With the injury to his left forearm, Arrascaeta will not play in Uruguay’s final match of this FIFA international window, which will be against India on October 6. As a result, the player will return to Rio de Janeiro to treat the injury with Flamengo’s Medical Department.
WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?
While Arrascaeta focuses on injury treatment, Flamengo’s squad is enjoying a few days off during this FIFA international window. The team will return on Wednesday (30), with full focus on the clash against Santos in the Brasileirão.
The ball rolls at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) on October 8 (Thursday), at Vila Belmiro. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match with the most rubro-negra on-site coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
SEE FLAMENGO’S OFFICIAL STATEMENT: “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.
