Arrascaeta to undergo surgery this Thursday after breaking collarbone | OneFootball

Flamengo chose not to continue with conservative treatment in hopes of a faster recovery

Flamengo drew 1-1 with Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG) last Wednesday (29), in the third round of the Libertadores. However, Arrascaeta is the one worrying the red-and-black fans, as he fractured his collarbone.

Because of the injury, Arrascaeta will undergo surgery this Thursday (30) in Rio de Janeiro to repair the fracture in his right collarbone. Flamengo itself reported that the team responsible for the procedure will be made up of specialists Márcio Schiefer and Bruno Tebaldi, in addition to Fernando Sassaki, head of Fla’s Medical Department.

What happened to Arrascaeta?

In short, right at the start of the match, midfielder Piovi brought down Arrascaeta, who landed on his shoulder at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi. As a result, Leonardo Jardim substituted the number 10 and sent Jorge Carrascal onto the field. Meanwhile, the Uruguayan went to the hospital for imaging tests.

That way, the fracture in Arrascaeta’s right collarbone was confirmed. It is worth noting that Flamengo chose to operate on the number 10 instead of beginning conservative treatment because the recovery time is expected to be shorter.

How long will Arrascaeta be out?

It is important to remember that Flamengo does not disclose recovery times for any injury. However, the initial estimate for the type of injury Arrascaeta suffered, with surgical intervention, is approximately 45 days

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Without Arrascaeta, Flamengo now turns its attention to the Brazilian Championship. That is because, on Sunday (03), the Most Beloved faces Vasco at the Maracanã. In short, the derby kicks off at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time), valid for the 14th round of the Brasileirão.
