Not fit for Spain clash

De Arrascaeta (calf) is expected to miss another match after Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa revealed that "Araujo and de Arrascaeta have no chance of playing against Spain" following Sunday's draw with Cape Verde, El Espectador Deportes reports.

Analysis: De Arrascaeta now appears set to sit out the entire group phase of the 2026 World Cup as he hasn't progressed well enough in his recovery. The playmaker's injury represents a huge blow to Uruguay's midfield, leaving them without one of their top creative assets. Nonetheless, Maxi Araujo has done a good job on set pieces, emerging as the main beneficiary of De Arrascaeta's absence on the left wing of a 4-3-3 system.

Eyes return against Spain

De Arrascaeta (calf) remains unavailable for Sunday's second group stage clash against Cape Verde, with the target being a return for the fixture against Spain on June 26, according to Matias Laborda of the AUF executive committee, per DSPORTS Uruguay. "The objective is that De Arrascaeta and Araujo can return against Spain, it will depend on how we arrive."

Analysis: De Arrascaeta suffered a muscle tear during Uruguay's World Cup preparation after joining the squad while still recovering from a previous injury, with coach Marcelo Bielsa having previously taken responsibility for the setback. His absence for the opening two group stage fixtures is a notable blow given his importance as one of the more creative and technically accomplished players in Bielsa's attacking setup. Uruguay will hope the two-week window between the Cape Verde fixture and the Spain clash provides sufficient time for the Flamengo midfielder to recover and contribute meaningfully in what promises to be a crucial group stage finale.
