Midfielder Arrascaeta is still recovering after fracturing his collarbone in the match against Estudiantes (ARG) in the Copa Libertadores. This Wednesday (27), Uruguay released images of the player training with the ball as he aims for the 2026 World Cup.

The Uruguayan Football Federation (FUF) released images of the ball training session this Wednesday (27). Arrascaeta is still not working fully with the squad, but he has started doing ball drills on the pitch as part of his recovery schedule.

In addition to Arrascaeta, Uruguay also released footage of the arrivals of Varela and De La Cruz, Flamengo players. In this way, the South American national team is preparing for the World Cup, which begins on June 11.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ARRASCAETA?

Arrascaeta challenged for the ball with an Estudiantes player during the match in La Plata in the Copa Libertadores. After feeling pain, the Uruguayan midfielder asked to be substituted and left the match still in the first half.

Then, after Flamengo arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Arrascaeta underwent tests to determine the severity of the injury. A collarbone fracture was then diagnosed. Therefore, the Uruguayan midfielder will be sidelined until a few days before the start of the World Cup.

WHEN DO FLAMENGO PLAY?

Still without Arrascaeta, Flamengo are preparing for their next match of the season. The Rubro-Negro team face Coritiba this Saturday (30) at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
