Arrascaeta is sidelined from Flamengo matches due to recovery from collarbone surgery. As a result, the Uruguayan midfielder made a post on social media this Thursday (07), giving an update on his recovery and sharing a positive message.
“Doing our best does not always guarantee the perfect result, but it does give us the peace of mind of knowing we tried with all our heart”, said Arrascaeta in a post on Instagram. Because of this, the midfielder’s message had a major impact among the fans.
Flamengo faced Estudiantes (ARG) away from home in a match valid for the third round of the Copa Libertadores. Early in the first half, Arrascaeta fell awkwardly and felt severe pain. As a result, the midfielder was substituted in the 21st minute.
Shortly afterward, Arrascaeta underwent tests, which confirmed a fractured collarbone. Because of this, the Uruguayan midfielder had to undergo surgery as soon as he returned from Argentina. In this way, the expectation is that the player will remain sidelined until a few days before the start of the World Cup.
Without Arrascaeta, Flamengo remain focused on the team’s upcoming matches this season. The side managed by Leonardo Jardim take the field this Thursday (07) to face Independiente Medellín (COL) away from home at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in the Copa Libertadores.
As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information directly from Medellín, with reports from Mônica Alves and Simon Lédo. Finally, ESPN on cable TV and Disney+ via streaming will broadcast Flamengo’s match this Thursday (07).
