Casemiro gets hurt badly which hurts Manchester United just hours before their FA Cup match with Liverpool.
It’s not clear what kind of injury the 32-year-old has, but head coach Dorival Junior said the Man United player wouldn’t be available.
“We just got a report from Dr. Rodrigo Lasmar,” the boss of Brazil said.
A preliminary list of 50 names was made by the technical committee of the Brazilian National Team. Thirteen of those names were already gone because they were hurt at their teams. We also lost Casemiro, which was sad.
“Therefore, Pepe, from Porto, a native striker who now plays as a midfielder, is called up.”
Manchester United hasn’t said anything new about Casemiro before their FA Cup game against Liverpool.
But the fact that he can’t play for the Brazil national team makes it likely that he won’t play against Liverpool.
The £60 million midfielder has played 21 times for Erik ten Hag this season in all categories.
He has been the starter for their last nine games in all categories.
The news is bad for United because they’ve had a lot of fitness problems this season. Ten Hag was just getting players back.
Harry Maguire, Rasmus Hojlund, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are all set to join United on Sunday after returning to training this week. Mason Mount, who was signed in the summer, is also said to be on his way.
Liverpool was also interested in Mount before he left Chelsea for Old Trafford. He has had a rough start at United and hasn’t played in four months because of a calf problem.
Ten Hag said, “I’m sure he will be a key player.” “He didn’t get a chance to show this.” He will be a great player for Manchester United, though.
“Having such a great player in the middle and not being able to play him is really bad luck for both him and us.”
“We all know that he’s been hurt three times, so he didn’t have time to get into a rhythm.” As for him playing for Manchester United again once he is healthy and in the swing of things, I’m sure he will help them win.
