Arrascaeta will be unavailable for Flamengo’s next matches due to a fracture in his right collarbone. In light of the situation, forward Samuel Lino lamented the Uruguayan’s absence from the team’s upcoming fixtures and also made it clear that the squad is fully behind Fla’s No. 10.
— It’s very bad news for us. Not only because of how important he is on the pitch, but also because of the person he is. He is our captain. Those are the two main points. Arrascaeta helps us a lot and brings a lot of quality on the field. But he’ll recover properly and soon he’ll be back with us again. Our group is fully behind him -, Samuel Lino told ‘GETV’.
Starting for Flamengo against Estudiantes, Arrascaeta was involved in a heavy collision with Piovi early in the match. On that play, Flamengo’s No. 10 was hit by the opponent and ended up falling on his right shoulder.
Right away, it was clear that the situation was serious, given the pain Arrascaeta was feeling. As soon as he was substituted, the Uruguayan left the stadium straight for a nearby hospital to undergo imaging tests, which detected a collarbone fracture.
As soon as the Flamengo delegation arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday morning (30), Arrascaeta was taken to the hospital for surgery. According to a statement from the club, the procedure lasted about an hour and was successful. The estimated recovery time before returning to the pitch is four to ten weeks.
With Arrascaeta sidelined, Flamengo return to action this Sunday (03) to face Vasco in the 14th round of the Brasileirão. Kickoff for the derby is at 4:00 p.m. (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 the website and social media.
