The Brazilian defender started last week’s game against Newcastle but was hurt and couldn’t play the whole 90 minutes.

After the break, Casemiro had to leave the field because he hurt his leg. The latest statement from MU read:

“Casemiro will have to sit out for a few weeks due to a hamstring injury in the Carabao Cup fourth round match against Newcastle.

The Brazilian midfielder was forced to be replaced at halftime. Judging by the doctors, Casemiro has a muscle strain that will keep him out of action for several weeks.”

Earlier, coach Ten Hag also said that Casemiro would not be able to go with the team to Fulham this weekend.

The guy who used to play for Real Madrid hasn’t really been playing well since the start of the season. Casemiro is still a very important part of coach Ten Hag’s method, though.

The Dutch military boss is having an even harder time now that they’ve lost a key player in the middle of the field. He had no choice but to trust young Sofyan Amrabat, even though the Moroccan player hasn’t fully settled into the Premier League yet.

The talented 18-year-old Koobie Mainoo will also be able to play again after recovering from a major injury he got in pre-season.
