🤕 Arrascaeta suffers FRACTURE, could miss the World Cup | OneFootball

Flamengo drew 1-1 with Estudiantes in Argentina this Wednesday (29), in the third round of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores group stage.

Right at the start of the match, which was marked by red cards and a lot of confusion, midfielder Arrascaeta came off worse in a challenge and ended up being replaced by Carrascal.

After being taken to the hospital immediately, the Uruguayan star was diagnosed with a FRACTURE of his right collarbone.

"After an imaging exam carried out at a local hospital, the midfielder was confirmed to have a fracture in his right collarbone. The player will return to Rio de Janeiro in the early hours of this Thursday (30) together with the rest of the delegation."

At the moment, there is no expected timeline for recovery and a return to the pitch for Flamengo.

According to the Paramount+ channel, the recovery time for injuries like the Flamengo midfielder’s ranges from four to six weeks. 

With less than 45 days left until the 2026 World Cup, Arrascaeta is also a concern for Uruguayans regarding his participation in the tournament.
