Eyes on the Copa: Arrascaeta chases Club World Cup dream | OneFootball

Uruguay, with De Arrascaeta, make their World Cup debut on June 18

A calf injury threatens his participation in the World Cup, but Arrascaeta has stepped up his physiotherapy routine. In this way, the midfielder’s daily effort keeps alive the goal of being part of the Uruguayan squad in the tournament.

In addition, the recovery process took on a new dimension with the arrival of Laniyan Neves. The Flamengo physiotherapist, responsible for working with the No. 10 at the club, was called up and will also accompany the player in Uruguay.

As a result, maintaining specific care for the calf ensures the continuation of specialized treatment and keeps hopes of a full recovery alive. It is worth noting that Arrascaeta is also recovering from clavicle surgery.

HOW SERIOUS IS THE PROBLEM?

Still in this context, the diagnosis brought immediate concern to Uruguay’s coaching staff. Arrascaeta suffered a grade 2 calf injury during a training session in the preparation period with the Uruguayan national team. Therefore, the incident required a quick response from the medical department.

As for the schedule, the recovery timeline is focused on Uruguay’s World Cup debut. La Celeste take the field on June 15 against Saudi Arabia, a match that marks the team’s first step in the tournament. However, Arrascaeta is not expected to be available for Uruguay’s first match.
