Flamengo criticizes Uruguay for not following recovery protocols agreed upon for Giorgian De Arrascaeta, who suffered a clavicle injury. The club carioca highlighted that the player's health and investments are at risk, and sent a physiotherapist to Uruguay to accompany the player. Flamengo demands respect for the protocols in future call-ups, while nine of its players participate in the World Cup. The midfielder Giorgian De Arrascaeta is the subject of a 'treta' between Flamengo and the Uruguayan selection. On Sunday, the club carioca released a statement stating that the Celeste did not follow the recovery protocols of the player. The Uruguayan was released by the club on the last day 18, with the condition of continuing the treatment of the clavicle fracture - injury occurred in the Libertadores, against Estudiantes, in April - with the professionals of Uruguay. 'Differently from what was agreed, once again, these protocols were not followed', highlights Flamengo. 'Disregarding scientific protocols is putting the player's health at risk and ignoring the investments made by clubs to have their players available for the various challenges that the calendar imposes.' To complete, Arrascaeta, after joining the selection, had a confirmed muscle injury in the calf last week. Therefore, the red-black released the physiotherapist Laniyan Neves to join the Uruguayan delegation, to accompany the player. The measure, still according to the club, aims to 'offer support to the player' and preserve his conditions on his return to the club post-Copa. 'The Club de Regatas do Flamengo wishes a speedy recovery to the number 10 and maintains the support for him to achieve his goals', highlights the statement, which ends by demanding Uruguay. 'On the other hand, it expects the protocols previously aligned between club and selection to be respected in future situations involving players under contract with Flamengo.' Flamengo has nine players called up for the World Cup held in Canada, United States and Mexico. In addition to Arrascaeta, the selections will include Alex Sandro, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Lucas Paquetá (Brazil), Plata (Ecuador), Carrascal (Colombia), as well as Varela and De la Cruz (Uruguay). With this, the club is the 18th in the world that has had the most players called up for the competition. The leader of this ranking is Manchester City, with 19 players dedicated to the World Cup.
