Spanish paper: Flamengo and Uruguay at ‘war’ over Arrascaeta injury | OneFootball

What happened to Arrascaeta with the Uruguay national team?

Flamengo released an official statement this Sunday (07), criticizing Uruguay’s conduct during Arrascaeta’s recovery. According to the club, the national team forced the number 10’s return, resulting in a new injury. As a result, Spanish newspaper ‘Diario AS’ highlighted the controversy involving La Celeste and the Rubro-Negro.

“ Flamengo launched a strong attack against the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) in response to the recovery protocol that, according to the Brazilian club, its player Giorgian De Arrascaeta was supposed to follow after undergoing surgery to repair a fracture in his right collarbone”, it said before concluding:

“De Arrascaeta is currently with the Uruguay national team and, according to Flamengo, ‘contrary to what had been agreed, these protocols were once again not followed.’ The Brazilian club claims that ‘failure to comply with the medical protocols puts the player’s health at risk’,” said the Spanish newspaper.

What happened to Arrascaeta?

Arrascaeta fractured his right collarbone in the match against Estudiantes (ARG) in the Libertadores. After undergoing surgery, the number 10 was handed over to Uruguay to continue treatment with the World Cup in mind. However, during training with the Uruguay national team, the midfielder suffered a new injury.

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Uruguay put Arrascaeta through exercises at the wrong time. That is because the number 10 was still recovering from collarbone surgery. As a result, the midfielder suffered a grade-two muscle injury in his right calf, but he was not withdrawn from the World Cup.

When is Uruguay’s World Cup debut?

So, it is worth noting that Uruguay will make its World Cup debut on June 15, against Saudi Arabia. On that occasion, the teams will face each other at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, in the first round of the group stage.
