When Will Arrascaeta and Varela Return to Flamengo?

Flamengo has set the date for Arrascaeta and Guillermo Varela to return to training. In a statement released this Monday (8th), the club announced that the two Uruguayan players will be back on Wednesday (10th). In other words, the midfielder and the right-back were given two days off after returning from the Uruguayan National Team.

Arrascaeta and Varela were called up to play for Uruguay during this FIFA break. The duo, in fact, started and played key roles in ‘La Celeste’s’ 3-0 victory over Peru last Thursday (4th). After the match, coach Marcelo Bielsa released the two Flamengo players from the Uruguayan National Team’s last World Cup 2026 Qualifier commitment.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH ARRASCAETA AND VARELA IN URUGUAY?

Arrascaeta was ‘released’ because Marcelo Bielsa decided to rest him for Uruguay’s last Qualifier match, which will be against Chile. Meanwhile, Varela presented with pubalgia and will be re-evaluated upon his return to Flamengo.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE MORE PLAYERS CALLED UP FOR THIS FIFA BREAK?

In addition to Arrascaeta and Varela, Flamengo has other players representing their countries during this FIFA break. For Uruguay, Matías Viña remains available for Marcelo Bielsa and is even expected to start on Tuesday (9th). Samuel Lino is expected to be tested in Brazil’s attack. Finally, Plata is representing Ecuador, while Carrascal is with Colombia.

With the return of the called-up players, Flamengo will be back on the field next Sunday (14th) to face Juventude in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match will kick off at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul.
