Man United manager Erik ten Hag can’t take a break at the moment, after it was shown that one of his main stars would miss the weekend’s game against Sheffield United.
The dreaded curse of the foreign break hit the player again, who took a hit while on duty for his country.
Casemiro has been important to his coach on both sides of the field and his presence will be greatly missed.
According to Manchester United’s official website, the Brazilian has stayed in his home country to recover and will return after the weekend.
Of course, he is suspended for next week’s Champions League match against Copenhagen, a game that the Red Devils will have to win if they want to have any chance of advancing to the knockout stages of the competition.
In better news for Ten Hag, Sergio Reguilon and Sofyan Amrabat have all been spotted training at Carrington, and if either of them is available for the national team, then the former can move to left-back and Amrabat can replace to cover Casemiro’s absence.
United are in tenth place lately and in a good position in the Premier League.
Although they will face the Blades at a partisan Bramall Lane, they will be hoping to come away with problems given that Sheffield United are at the back of the department with just one point in their squad so far.
