Arrascaeta had been sidelined due to an injury to his right collarbone. Therefore, Flamengo had set up an exercise schedule so the midfielder could recover physically in time to play in the World Cup. However, the Uruguay National Team skipped some steps, harming the player.
According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, the exercise that Arrascaeta started doing this week in Uruguay should only have been started next week. The schedule was set according to modern training and physical recovery methods, which are also used by Flamengo.
Uruguay’s national team, however, skipped a step in Arrascaeta’s recovery, and he could not handle it physically and suffered a calf injury. Flamengo’s No. 10 therefore runs the risk of not playing in the World Cup.
Arrascaeta suffered a grade 2 calf muscle injury during Uruguay national team training this Tuesday (02). Therefore, the midfielder is expected to be sidelined for about 21 days to recover physically.
Uruguay will make its World Cup debut on June 15, that is, 12 days from now. The first match will be against Saudi Arabia, starting at 7 p.m. (Brasília time). Cape Verde and Spain complete ‘La Celeste’s’ group in the tournament.
