Journalist says Flamengo's Arrascaeta out of Uruguay's World Cup | OneFootball

Why won’t Arrascaeta play in the World Cup?

Arrascaeta suffered a calf injury this Tuesday (02). Because of that, in addition to the fact that he still has not fully recovered from his collarbone injury, Gávea’s No. 10 will miss the World Cup.

According to journalist Gonzalo Rochi, Arrascaeta picked up a calf injury in training this Tuesday (02), while with the Uruguay squad. The midfielder will therefore be cut from the team by coach Marcelo Bielsa.

Is Arrascaeta with the Uruguay squad?

It is worth noting that Arrascaeta traveled to Uruguay well before the Brasileirão break for the World Cup. The midfielder’s idea was to speed up his recovery from the collarbone injury directly with members of the ‘Celeste’ coaching staff. However, the new injury, in his calf, hampered Gávea’s No. 10.

When is Uruguay’s first match in the World Cup?

Uruguay will make its World Cup debut on June 15, that is, in 12 days. The first match will be against Saudi Arabia, starting at 7 p.m. (Brasília time). Cape Verde and Spain complete the ‘Celeste’ group in the tournament.
