Arrascaeta's Cup in doubt with a calf injury

Arrascaeta has picked up a calf injury and is now a doubt for the World Cup, with exams pending to gauge how serious it is.

Worrying news out of the break: Arrascaeta has picked up a calf injury and is now a doubt for the World Cup, with the playmaker set to undergo exams to gauge how serious it is. Uruguay still named him as their number 10 on the final squad list released Tuesday, and the problem is unrelated to the clavicle surgery he had in early May. Marcelo Bielsa's side can swap him out until June 14, 24 hours before their opener against Saudi Arabia in Miami on the 15th. We're still second in the Brasileirão, seven behind Palmeiras with a game in hand, but for now the worry is one of our own. Fingers crossed at the Ninho.
