April 30 (Reuters) - ⁠Uruguay midfielder Giorgian de Arrascaeta ⁠suffered a collarbone fracture ‌during Flamengo's 1-1 draw at Estudiantes in the Copa Libertadores, raising concerns about ​his participation in ⁠this year's World ⁠Cup.

The 31-year-old, who joined the Brazilian ⁠side ‌in 2019, went down after a challenge ⁠during the first half of Wednesday's ​Group ‌A clash and had to ⁠be substituted.

"Arrascaeta... ​was taken to hospital, where a fracture to his ⁠right collarbone was confirmed," Flamengo ​wrote on their website.

Defending champions Flamengo remain top of the ⁠group with seven points from three matches.

Uruguay begin their World Cup campaign on June 15 ​with a Group ⁠H game against Saudi Arabia, leaving ​Arrascaeta with about ‌six weeks to ​recover.
