Will Arrascaeta play Flamengo’s next match against Fluminense? | OneFootball

Arrascaeta is Unlikely to Play in the Fla-Flu if He Participates in Uruguay's Friendly on Tuesday (18)

Flamengo begins preparations for the match against Fluminense with a training session this Monday (17), still without Arrascaeta. However, will the number 10 be able to play in the next match of the Most Beloved in the Brasileirão?

In summary, Arrascaeta missed the match against Mexico on Saturday (15). However, according to the report by Coluna do Fla, the backstage information is that Flamengo's number 10 is expected to play in the friendly against the United States this Tuesday (18).

This increases the chances of Arrascaeta not being available for Filipe Luís in the classic against Fluminense, scheduled for Wednesday (19). Initially, Flamengo had plans to count on the Uruguayan.

However, the midfielder's playing time during the FIFA Date, along with the evaluation by the Medical Department, will be decisive for Arrascaeta to play or not against Fluminense. So far, it's unlikely that the number 10 will be available for Filipe Luís.

This is because both Arrascaeta and the other foreign players called up for the November FIFA Date will only arrive in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday (19). Thus, Filipe Luís has already made it clear that it will be very difficult to count on the athletes.

What Did Filipe Luís Say?

In a press conference, Filipe Luís was candid about the possibility of the called-up players playing against Fluminense: “I think it's difficult for them (the called-up players) to arrive in full form. But I have no doubt that some of them will make themselves available to help, they are young. Seeing how they arrive, I will make the best decision,” he said.

Which Players Were Called Up?

Besides Arrascaeta, six other Flamengo players were called up for the November FIFA Date. Danilo and Alex Sandro (Brazil); Varela and Viña (Uruguay); Jorge Carrascal (Colombia); and Gonzalo Plata (Ecuador).

What Are the Details of Flamengo's Next Match?

Next Wednesday (19), Flamengo faces Fluminense in a classic match valid for the 34th round of the Brasileirão. Thus, the Fla-Flu takes place at Maracanã, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with live broadcast on Premiere, on pay-per-view.
