Which other two Flamengo players will represent Uruguay at the World Cup?


The Uruguay delegation left the country on Tuesday night (09) and arrived in the United States this Wednesday (10) for the World Cup. Arrascaeta, De La Cruz and Varela are part of the Uruguay squad.

Before heading to the United States, the Uruguay national team took a photo to mark the squad that will compete in the World Cup. In the image, Arrascaeta, Varela, Viña and De La Cruz appeared together.

It is worth noting that Viña is under contract with Flamengo. However, the left back was loaned by Mais Querido to River Plate (ARG). Therefore, at the moment, the defender is not part of the current rubro-negro squad.

Is Arrascaeta fit to play?

No! Arrascaeta has still not recovered from the calf muscle injury. As a result, the Flamengo player will miss Uruguay’s opening World Cup match. The expectation is that the midfielder will return in the last game of the group stage.

When does Uruguay make its World Cup debut?

The Uruguay national team, coached by Marcelo Bielsa, will make its World Cup debut next Monday (15) against Saudi Arabia. The match is scheduled for 7 p.m. (Brasília time).
