Flamengo update on Arrascaeta after collarbone surgery | OneFootball

Arrascaeta left the game against Estudiantes (ARG) at 21 minutes of the first half

Arrascaeta left the game against Estudiantes (ARG) last Wednesday (29) still in the first half, after suffering a fracture to his right clavicle. Thus, this Thursday (30), the rubro-negro team issued a statement to update the condition of the Uruguayan midfielder.

“Midfielder De Arrascaeta underwent surgery on Thursday morning (30) to repair a fracture in his right clavicle, an injury suffered still in the first half of the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes, valid for the CONMEBOL Libertadores.

The procedure, which lasted approximately one hour, was successful and consisted of fixing the fracture with a plate and screws.

The player will remain under observation throughout the day and is expected to be discharged from the hospital on Friday morning (1st).”

WHAT DID FLAMENGO SAY?

“Just to let you know that Arrascaeta’s surgery has just been completed and the procedure was a success. We have had no complications with this player up to this Friday (01). We would also like to thank the fans for their support,” said Fernando Sassaki, head of Flamengo’s medical department.

HOW DID ARRASCAETA’S INJURY HAPPEN?

That said, Arrascaeta challenged for the ball with an Estudiantes player and fell on his arm. The Uruguayan midfielder immediately felt a lot of pain. As a result, the rubro-negro team substituted the player at 21 minutes of the first half.

It is worth mentioning that Arrascaeta is expected to be out of Flamengo matches for 45 days until he recovers. In addition, the Uruguayan midfielder will miss nine matches for the rubro-negro team this season and is only expected to return before the World Cup.

WHEN DO FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, Flamengo face Vasco on Sunday (03) without Arrascaeta, at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), at the Maracanã, in the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship. As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match live from the stadium.
