Flamengo want Arrascaeta fully fit for next game | OneFootball

Flamengo’s mid-season break will include three friendlies before facing Chapecoense

Arrascaeta left the World Cup without having played a single minute for Uruguay. After all, the star was injured even before the tournament began. However, Flamengo expect to have their No. 10 fit for the club’s next official match, against Chapecoense.

The information comes from GE. That is because, after being released by Uruguay, the midfielder, along with Varela and De La Cruz, will have ten days off before reporting back to the Most Beloved. As a result, the trio will miss the mid-season training camp in Portugal.

When will Flamengo face Chapecoense?

So, Mengo hope to have the Rubro-Negro idol fit by the 22nd, for the match in Chapecó, Santa Catarina. The clash is valid for the 19th round of the Brasileirão, a tournament in which Fla sit in second place with 34 points, seven behind leaders Palmeiras.

Therefore, the Uruguayan could help the Most Beloved cut the gap in the race for a tenth Brazilian league title. Alviverde, however, have played one more match than Rubro-Negro, who still do not know when they will settle the pending fixture against Mirassol.

Why didn’t Arrascaeta play in the World Cup?

Of the three Rubro-Negro players, Marcelo Bielsa gave a starting spot only to Varela. That is because De La Cruz was merely an option on the bench, while the No. 10 was injured. Flamengo even accused the Uruguay national team of causing the playmaker’s injury.

After all, Mengo released the midfielder when he was almost recovered from a fractured collarbone, but a recovery schedule still needed to be followed. However, Fla said the Uruguayan team did not respect the plan, which caused a muscle injury in the player’s right calf.

As a way to remedy the situation, the Most Beloved sent physiotherapist Laniyan Neves to monitor the midfielder during the World Cup. The Uruguayan coaching staff had the chance, but did not release the No. 10, as they hoped to count on the player in the knockout stage.

Did Uruguay reach the knockout stage?

Despite that hope, the Uruguay national team had one of the country’s worst World Cup campaigns in recent history. Bielsa’s side finished third in Group H after two draws and one defeat.
