Arrascaeta returns to training at Flamengo; plans for World Cup call-ups

What is the situation of Flamengo’s players called up for the World Cup?

The World Cup has come to an end for most of Flamengo’s players. Given this situation, the Rubro-Negro has set a plan for the players’ return to the club. Arrascaeta, in fact, already returned to training this Monday (06).

Midfielder Arrascaeta cut short his scheduled vacation period, as he wants to recover from his calf injury as soon as possible. At the moment, the injury of Flamengo’s number 10 is in its final stage, already in the transition phase back to the pitch. Varela and De La Cruz, who represented Uruguay at the World Cup, will report back on Wednesday (08). The information comes from ‘GE’.

WHAT IS PLATA’S SITUATION?

Gonzalo Plata played in the World Cup for Ecuador, which was eliminated by Mexico in the round of 32. In Flamengo’s planned schedule, the forward will also be given the proper days off before reporting back to the Rubro-Negro. It is important to note that the player started every match for ‘La Tri’ in the tournament.

WHAT ARE THE SITUATIONS OF LUCAS PAQUETÁ AND DANILO?

Lucas Paquetá and Danilo also went through heavy wear and tear during the World Cup. The midfielder, in fact, will require special attention, as he suffered a muscle injury in the match against Japan.

Danilo, meanwhile, did not suffer an injury. However, because of Brazil’s run of matches, the defender will need a few days to recover from the physical toll. As a result, the duo’s time off starts counting from this Tuesday (07), when the ‘Seleção’ delegation leaves the United States.

WHAT ABOUT ALEX SANDRO AND LÉO PEREIRA?

Alex Sandro and Léo Pereira are in a different situation from Lucas Paquetá and Danilo. That is because the players were with the Brazil squad, but the left back only played a few minutes against Scotland, while the center back did not play. Because of this, the expectation is that the players will return to training at Ninho do Urubu before Paquetá and Danilo.

WHAT IS CARRASCAL’S SITUATION?

Carrascal is Flamengo’s only ‘survivor’ at the World Cup. In short, while on duty with the Colombian National Team, the midfielder is available to face Switzerland this Tuesday (07) in the round of 16.

WILL ANY OF FLAMENGO’S CALLED-UP PLAYERS TRAVEL TO PORTUGAL?

It is important to point out that even with some players returning to training, none of those called up will join the squad that is in Portugal for the mid-season training camp. Therefore, the players will only rejoin training with their teammates after the delegation returns from the Algarve, which will happen next Sunday (12).

Given this situation, Leonardo Jardim will have a few days before having a more complete squad during the training camp. Even so, the coach hopes to have some of the called-up players available for the friendly against Olímpia (PAR), which takes place on July 17 (Friday) at Mané Garrincha Stadium.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH IN THE TRAINING CAMP IN PORTUGAL?

While the called-up players are returning, Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (08) to face Lausanne Sports (SUI) at 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Portugal. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will bring the details of the match with on-site coverage on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media.
