Casemiro to miss Sheffield Utd game with ankle injury

0

Manchester United will be without Casemiro for their game against Sheffield United on Saturday Night Football after he picked up an ankle injury while playing for Brazil.

Casemiro was substituted 11 minutes from the end of a 1-1 draw with Venezuela last week, and has remained in Brazil - on the club's advice - to aid his recovery.

While he misses the visit to Bramall Lane, the midfielder is expected back at Carrington early next week to resume training.

However, he will not be able to feature in the midweek Champions League encounter with FC Copenhagen at Old Trafford through suspension, having been sent off against Galatasaray.

The 31-year-old, who is captain of the national team, asked to come off against Venezuela and he was replaced by Andre. Brazil manager Fernando Diniz added: "He asked to come off due to a blow to his ankle."
