Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has revealed Casemiro is set to miss this weekend’s Premier League clash with Fulham after the midfielder picked up an injury.
Casemiro returned to United’s starting line-up for their Carabao Cup fourth round clash against Newcastle United after a three-game absence, but was replaced by Sofyan Amrabat at half-time.
And Ten Hag has revealed the Brazilian suffered an injury shortly before the break which means he is unlikely to be available for United’s trip to Craven Cottage. “He was injured,” Ten Hag said in his post-match press conference.
“Just before half-time, he got an injury. That’s why we had to take him off.” When asked if the injury could rule Casemiro out until the next international break later this month, he added: “I can’t give an answer on that [now].
“We were in the game and in a couple of minutes we gave the game away. That’s below our standards and we know that. We have to take responsibility for this. You only get your confidence when you take responsibility and you fight and you are winning and dictating the crowd.
“When you do that, you get results and from there you build your own confidence. Confidence is something that is in your own hands and that is individual but of course you have to do it as a team. You have to stick together.
“You have to stick together but you have to be disciplined and you have to do it. And [have] togetherness. Everyone has to take responsibility, be accountable and cooperate – that’s the key word.
