Arrascaeta a doubt for Flamengo v Atlético-MG after feeling thigh pain | OneFootball

Arrascaeta Left the Game at Halftime

Flamengo faced Ceará on Sunday (03) at Arena Castelão, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship, and raised the alarm. This is because midfielder Arrascaeta left the field with thigh pain during the second half and became a doubt for the decisive match against Atlético-MG, in the Copa do Brasil.

WHAT DID FLAMENGO SAY?

"Midfielder De Arrascaeta felt discomfort in the posterior muscle of his left thigh and was therefore preserved", informed Flamengo, in an official statement, shortly after the incident occurred at Arena Castelão. In this way, the athlete will be evaluated later by the club's medical department.

ARRASCAETA IN THE GAME

Arrascaeta played only 45 minutes in the match between Flamengo and Ceará, in Fortaleza. Even so, the Uruguayan midfielder was the main highlight, as he scored the goal after a great collective play with Léo Ortiz and Gonzalo Plata. In addition, the number 10 created a clear chance and finished four times. Finally, he won all the ground duels.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO X ATLÉTICO-MG?

Thus, Flamengo has a decisive match against Atlético-MG on Wednesday (06). The red-black team, with Arrascaeta as a doubt, faces the miners at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, at 19h (Brasília time), valid for the return match of the Copa do Brasil.

In this way, the confrontation is decisive for Flamengo. This is because Atlético-MG defeated the team led by Filipe Luís 1-0 at Maracanã, and Mengo needs to reverse the score. To advance, they will need to win by two goals difference. If they triumph by just one, the decision will be on penalties.
