Arrascaeta hurts shoulder, goes off in first half, Flamengo worried | OneFootball

The score was 0-0 when Arrascaeta needed medical attention

A hard fall forced Arrascaeta out of the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29), still in the first half. During a challenge for the ball in midfield, the Uruguayan was brought down in the 16th minute and landed awkwardly, feeling pain in his right shoulder. As a result, Leonardo Jardim brought on Carrascal.

Arrascaeta landed on top of his own arm. Flamengo's medical staff began treatment with ice. Imaging tests, however, will soon determine the severity of the injury. Because of the pain, the No. 10 did not even remain on the bench and went straight to the locker room.

Is Arrascaeta a concern for Flamengo?

In addition to being captain, the Uruguayan is one of the main stars of the Rubro-Negro. Moreover, Fla is approaching a derby on Sunday (03). Since Carrascal is suspended from CBF competitions, having Arrascaeta available is important against Vasco in the Brasileirão.

How was the game going?

Until the No. 10's injury, the teams were feeling each other out at Estádio UNO in Argentina. Therefore, neither side created any major chances in the third round of Group A of the Libertadores while the midfielder was on the field.

What is Flamengo’s next game?

Hoping to have Arrascaeta available, Flamengo face Vasco this Sunday (03) at the Maracanã. The match kicks off at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) in the 14th round of the Brasileirão.
