Arrascaeta, Uruguayan international on his way to the 2026 World Cup, faces Cruzeiro in the Libertadores quarter-finals. In 2018, he had eliminated Flamengo alongside the Brazilians; now at Flamengo, he can turn the tables. Back from injury since July, the Uruguayan is regaining playing time in preparation for the 2026 World Cup. Lucas Paquetá, his 2018 teammate, will support him within the South American national team.
