After almost two weeks, the September FIFA Date concluded with the World Cup Qualifiers games last Tuesday (09). Flamengo, the Brazilian team with the most players called up, is still training short-handed this Wednesday (10).
This is because four of the six players called up for the September FIFA Date have not yet rejoined Flamengo. It's worth noting that Gonzalo Plata represented Ecuador, while Jorge Carrascal played for Colombia. Finally, Viña played for Uruguay and Samuel Lino for Brazil.
These players, as they were still available to their respective national teams last Tuesday (09), have not yet rejoined Flamengo this Wednesday (10). However, Gonzalo Plata, Jorge Carrascal, Viña, and Samuel Lino will join the red-black squad on Thursday (11).
On the other hand, the Uruguayan National Team released Arrascaeta and Varela from the match against Chile, held last Tuesday (09). Therefore, this Wednesday (10), the players rejoin Flamengo normally along with the rest of the red-black squad at Ninho do Urubu.
Varela, in fact, felt pubalgia (pain in the pelvic region, specifically in the pubic bone and surrounding areas, such as the groin and lower abdomen) during Uruguay's game against Peru on Thursday (04). As a result, the number 2 will be reassessed by Flamengo's Medical Department when he rejoins this Wednesday (10).
Arrascaeta, like Varela, also played 90 minutes in Uruguay's first match against Peru. However, Flamengo's captain did not feel any pain or injury. Thus, coach Marcelo Bielsa simply chose to rest the red-black number 10, as the Uruguayan National Team was already qualified for the 2026 World Cup.
Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday (14), when they face Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Thus, the teams will clash starting at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.
