Training with ball in NT camp
De Arrascaeta (collarbone) was pictured running with the ball in Uruguay's training sessions prior to the World Cup.
Analysis: De Arrascaeta is still a doubt following his collarbone surgery in late April, and he's working on a fast recovery to be available for international activity. If he continues to regain fitness, he'll be the main option to start in a central attacking midfield spot, limiting Rodrigo Bentancur and Facundo Pellistri to either defensive roles or bench duty. The Flamengo player could be one of the team's top playmakers and a potential set-piece taker if he's ready for significant minutes.
Undergoes collarbone surgery
De Arrascaeta had a right clavicle fracture repaired through medical procedure after being injured in a Copa Libertadores match on April 29, his club reported.
Analysis: De Arrascaeta hasn't been ruled out for Uruguay ahead of the World Cup, but he'll be in a race against time to be ready for the June 15 opener against Saudi Arabia. The playmaker would be expected to return in the international competition and play a major role if he regains enough fitness, but otherwise his place may be covered by either Rodrigo Bentancur or Facundo Pellistri.
