Midfielder Arrascaeta had to undergo surgery on his right collarbone after landing on his shoulder during Flamengo’s match against Estudiantes (ARG). Given the situation, Coluna do Fla brings you an update on the current status of Mengão’s number 10.
Arrascaeta underwent the surgical procedure on Thursday (30) at a hospital in Rio de Janeiro’s South Zone. After the surgery was successfully completed, the player remained hospitalized there until the morning of this Friday (01), when he was discharged and returned home.
From now on, Arrascaeta will begin the first steps of his recovery. From Friday (01) until next Sunday (03), the Uruguayan will rest at home. Then on Monday (04), the midfielder will continue the schedule set by Flamengo’s Medical Department at the Ninho do Urubu training center.
Initially, the estimated time for Arrascaeta to return is eight to 12 weeks. The surgery, which involved the placement of plates in the collarbone, was a method sought by Flamengo’s medical department to reduce the player’s pain and speed up the recovery process. As a result, there is now anticipation to see how the Uruguayan’s body will respond after the operation.
Based on the initial timeline, Arrascaeta will have to race against time to be available for Uruguay in the 2026 World Cup. That is because the national team tournament is set to begin in June.
While Arrascaeta recovers from surgery, Flamengo’s squad is focused on the team’s upcoming commitments this season. This Sunday (03), Mengo faces Vasco in the 14th round of the Brasileirão. In short, the ball starts rolling at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media.
