After injuries disrupt Uruguay’s World Cup training, Bielsa supports the medical team.

After a number of important team members were sidelined prior to the World Cup, Uruguay’s coach Marcelo Bielsa stated on Sunday that his medicaustained an injury prior to the 2022 World Cup. Although he was included in the squad, he did not participate in the competition in Qatar, as Ul staff had adhered to all the correct procedures in managing players’ recuperation from injuries.

After defender Ronald Araujo sustained a muscle tear during training, joining Jose Maria Gimenez and Giorgian de Arrascaeta on the injury list, Bielsa defended his medical team’s strategy as Uruguay prepares to begin their World Cup campaign against Saudi Arabia on Monday.

Araujo of Barcelona also sruguay was eliminated in the group stage.Araujo had a little muscle issue when he came. Over the past six months at Barcelona, he has not experienced any significant muscle issues. He also tore a muscle,” Bielsa informed reporters.

“I come to the same conclusion: if a player is hurt during practice, there is a problem. However, Araujo works with a group that he greatly trusts, and no decisions were made without Araujo and the group coming to an agreement.Although we feel accountable, there was nothing we could have done differently.

Gimenez and Arrascaeta, who are recuperating from ankle and calf injuries, respectively, were also compared by Bielsa.Gimenez had an ankle issue, but he returned to training a week later since the personnel who kept an eye on his entire recuperation are accustomed to working with him and he has a great deal of faith in them, according to Bielsa.After 15 days with us, he has finally recovered.

Despite a muscular issue, Arrascaeta received close assistance throughout camp, according to Bielsa, who also noted that every session was decided upon by Uruguay, the player’s team, and his club, Flamengo.

“A muscle tear during recovery and preparation must necessarily be interpreted as a mistake,” Bielsa stated.In response to the question of whether we didn’t take all the required steps to stop it, we did.

The Argentine manager stated that the open, possession-based strategy that has been his signature would not be altered for the match against the Saudis.It’s no secret how we play. He stated, “We try to have possession of the ball, we try to go forward and attack with many players.”We make an effort to play on the opposite side of the field and swiftly retrieve the ball. Additionally, we should maintain a positive association between possession and the risky circumstances we create.
