Varela lives a delicate moment at Flamengo after the fight with Gerson. Due to a misunderstanding, the players exchanged punches at Ninho do Urubu, and the Uruguayan suffered a broken nose. In this context, Arrascaeta shows support for his teammate.

“He had started the game very well. He is a player who still hasn't shown 100%. I know him very well, I know what he can add to our team. He is a very skilled player. Player sometimes lacks confidence and cannot show 100% the player he is. I hope that when he returns he can be 100% as soon as possible and have the level he has had in a long time, because certainly Flamengo will be very favored”, he said in an interview.

In addition to Flamengo, Varela and Arrascaeta work together for the Uruguayan national team. Players are frequently called up and put up with the 2022 World Cup. Since Varela arrived at Rubro-Negro in 2022, Uruguayans have had more opportunities to establish the partnership they cultivate.

After suffering an injury to his right knee in the match against Grêmio, Varela became an embezzlement in Mais Querido. Without the right-back, the club is preparing for its next commitment. Flamengo and Coritiba face each other for the 20th round of the Brasileirão. The confrontation takes place this Sunday (20), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Couto Pereira Stadium.
