Uruguay decided not to call up Arrascaeta and Varela for October's FIFA Date

The next FIFA Date takes place between October 6 and 14. During this period, the world's main teams will play international friendlies. As a result, clubs like Flamengo deal with potential absences at a decisive moment of the season.

Despite the scenario, Flamengo received good news. The technical committee of Uruguay decided not to call up Arrascaeta and Varela for the games against the Dominican Republic and Uzbekistan. The information is from journalist Venê Casagrande, confirmed by Coluna do Fla.

VIÑA ON BIELSA'S LIST?

In contrast, Marcelo Bielsa is expected to include Matías Viña on the list. The Uruguayan coach is assessing the performance of the left-back and plans to use him in the friendlies.

According to a report by Coluna do Fla, the board of Flamengo approves the chance for the player to gain minutes on the field.

WILL DE LA CRUZ EMBARK?

The situation of De La Cruz is still not defined. The Uruguayan federation has not announced whether it will call up the midfielder for the FIFA Date. Meanwhile, Flamengo is monitoring the developments.

AND ECUADOR?

Ecuador confirmed the list for the friendlies against the United States and Mexico. Gonzalo Plata was left out of the call-up and will continue with the red-black group. The decision surprised part of the fans, but pleased the technical committee.

FLAMENGO LEFT OUT OF ANCELOTTI'S LIST?

Carlo Ancelotti announced the names for the Brazilian National Team last Wednesday (01). In summary, even with five athletes on the preliminary list, the coach did not call up any Flamengo players. The CBF bet on a majority of names playing abroad.

AND CARRASCAL?

Colombia's coach, Néstor Lorenzo, chose not to call Jorge Carrascal for this FIFA Date. Thus, the midfielder remains available for Filipe Luís for training during the period without games.
