Flamengo relieved by Uruguay decision before FIFA break, here’s why | OneFootball

Uruguay decides not to call up Arrascaeta and Varela for October FIFA Date

The next FIFA Date takes place between October 6 and 14. During this period, the world’s top national teams will play international friendlies. As a result, clubs like Flamengo have to deal with potential absences at a decisive moment in the season.

Despite this scenario, Flamengo received good news. The Uruguayan coaching staff has decided not to call up Arrascaeta and Varela for the matches against the Dominican Republic and Uzbekistan. The information comes from journalist Venê Casagrande and was confirmed by Coluna do Fla.

VIÑA ON BIELSA’S LIST?

On the other hand, Marcelo Bielsa is expected to include Matías Viña on the list. The Uruguayan coach is evaluating the left-back’s performance and plans to use him in the friendlies.

According to a report by Coluna do Fla, the Flamengo board approves of the player getting more minutes on the field.

WILL DE LA CRUZ TRAVEL?

The situation of De La Cruz is still undefined. The Uruguayan federation has not announced whether the midfielder will be called up for the FIFA Date. Meanwhile, Flamengo is monitoring developments.

AND WHAT ABOUT ECUADOR?

Ecuador has confirmed its squad for the friendlies against the United States and Mexico. Gonzalo Plata was left out of the call-up and will remain with the red-and-black squad. The decision surprised some fans but pleased the coaching staff.

DID FLAMENGO MISS OUT ON ANCELOTTI’S LIST?

Carlo Ancelotti announced the names for the Brazilian National Team last Wednesday (01). In short, even with five players on the preliminary list, the coach did not call up any Flamengo players. The CBF opted mostly for players who play abroad.

AND CARRASCAL?

The coach of Colombia, Néstor Lorenzo, chose not to call up Jorge Carrascal for this FIFA Date. Thus, the midfielder remains available to Filipe Luís for training during the period without matches.
