After weeks away due to an injury, the Uruguayan midfielderGiorgian De Arrascaeta is close to returning to the field. The player, who is a key player in the Flamengo, has entered the final phase of recovery, and the expectation within the club is that his return will occur in the next matches. Arrascaeta suffered a muscle injury that ruled him out of the last rounds of the Brazilian Championship and compromised his participation in other important competitions, such as the Libertadores.
The midfielder's absence was greatly felt, as he is considered one of the players most creative and decisive of the red and black cast. However, the club's medical department has been working intensely to ensure his full recovery, without rushing to put him on the field before he is 100% fit.
According to information from the club, Arrascaeta is in the last phase of his treatment, which involves transition work with physical preparation. This means that the Uruguayan has already overcome the most intensive care phase and is now focusing on regaining his physical shape and getting back into his game, something fundamental to his style. Flamengo has adopted a cautious approach to avoid any type of relapse, a common procedure when it comes to muscle injuries, especially in players who play such a dynamic and creative role on the field.
This last stage involves activities such as light running, muscle strengthening exercises and even ball training in reduced spaces, without the pressure of a competitive game. Depending on how the athlete responds to these stimuli, he may be released to train with the rest of the squad in the coming weeks.
