BEST MOMENT OF HIS LIFE?

The pregnancy has given Arrascaeta a boost, after all, the number 10 is living one of the best years of his career. In 2025, the star has scored 17 goals and provided 13 assists in 42 matches. Thus, the Uruguayan is just one goal away from matching his 2019 record, when he scored 18 times. As for assists, the goal is to surpass the 19 he had in both 2019 and 2022.

Last Sunday (31), Arrascaeta shone once again. After a beautiful one-two with Pedro, the number 10 made a ‘billiard shot’, gently, leaving no chance for Grêmio goalkeeper Tiago Volpi. However, the afternoon was not all celebration for Mengão, as the goalkeeper himself equalized the match with a penalty, leaving everything level at Maracanã.

WHEN WILL ARRASCAETA PLAY AGAIN?

Daddy Arrascaeta is now preparing to play for the Uruguayan National Team. La Celeste faces Peru next Thursday (04), at Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. Afterwards, on September 9, the match will be against Chile at the Nacional in Santiago.

In a comfortable position in the Qualifiers standings, Uruguay needs just one point out of the six still up for grabs to mathematically secure qualification for the World Cup. Currently, only Argentina, Ecuador, and Brazil are already qualified. On the other hand, Chile is the only team with no chance left.
