Arrascaeta injury worries Jardim: “I don’t want to be pessimistic, but…” | OneFootball

Flamengo won their second friendly in Portugal

Flamengo beat Lausanne (SUI) 2-0 this Wednesday (08) in a friendly at the Algarve Stadium. Despite the win, coach Leonardo Jardim drew attention in the press conference to the need for an attacking midfielder to make up for Arrascaeta’s absence, which is becoming a worrying situation.

– The biggest need at the moment, as I’ve already mentioned, is out wide and in the attacking midfield role, which is where we have a fantastic player, Arrascaeta, but he hasn’t played for three months. Now the concern is how long it will take for the player to recover and get back to his level again -, the coach highlighted, adding:

– With this current physical problem, he has gone three months without playing. I don’t want to be pessimistic, but I don’t know how long it will take for a player with these characteristics to get back to normal. Of course, the midfielder is fundamental for us, but we have to find solutions -, said the Rubro-Negro manager.
