This Tuesday's game (17) is scheduled to be a match between Uruguay and Brazil. However, the red and black fans will certainly have their eye on two specific players: Arrascaeta and Gerson. Flamengo's two stars were called up to defend their respective teams during October's FIFA Date and are not having time with Tite at Ninho.
The Brazilian team takes the field today (17) to face Uruguay. The game is valid for the fourth round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Coach Fernando Diniz defined that the Flamengo player, Gerson, will start on the bench, just as Arrascaeta runs this risk, but for his own national team.
However, the two red-and-blacks should meet on the pitch, because they are important players in their teams, even if only to enter the second half. In last Thursday's match (12), for example, Gerson entered at 79', playing for just 11 minutes. Brazil ended up drawing with Venezuela 1-1.
On the same day, Uruguay faced Colombia and also drew, but 2-2. Giogian De Arrascaeta replaced Nhitan Nández in the 16th minute of the second time, when his teammates were losing 2-1, and he played a good game. Uruguay's second goal came in the final stoppage time, from a penalty not taken by the Flamengo player.
While the midfielder and striker wait for an opportunity on the field today, the other Mais Querido players are preparing with Tite for the club's next commitment in the Brazilian Championship, which is this Thursday (19), for the 27th round. The match against Cruzeiro is scheduled to start at 7:00 pm (Brasília time), at the Mineirão Stadium, in Belo Horizonte.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Tite defined Flamengo and announced the 11 starters who will face Peñarol, this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 7pm. De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
Match starts at 7pm this Thursday
