🤕 Uruguay on alert: De Arrascaeta could miss the World Cup | OneFootball

Giorgian De Arrascaeta picked up a knock after Uruguay’s training session this Tuesday, according to the newspaper 'Ovación' and journalist Gonzalo Ronchi (Telemundo), citing sources from the national team.

The Flamengo midfielder will undergo medical tests on Tuesday afternoon to determine the extent of the injury.

If his absence from the World Cup is confirmed, it would be a significant blow for Bielsa, who in his latest press conference described De Arrascaeta as "the player who can decide a match through individual brilliance". 

De Arrascaeta arrives at the World Cup while still recovering from a fractured collarbone suffered on April 29 against Estudiantes in the Copa Libertadores. He underwent surgery immediately, and the estimated recovery time was around a month.

Until the test results are known, the nature and severity of this new injury remain unclear. If it is a serious muscle injury, his participation in the tournament would be seriously in doubt.
