Casemiro has been replaced in the Brazil squad due to injury, suggesting that he’ll miss Manchester United’s grudge FA Cup quarter-final clash with Liverpool.
The midfielder, 32, has been plagued by fitness issues all season and Brazil now say that he’ll now miss their upcoming fixtures during the upcoming international break. Next Saturday, Casemiro’s team is scheduled to play England at Wembley, followed three days later by another friendly match against Spain.
Brazil manager Dorival Junior added: “We have just received a report from Dr. Rodrigo Lasmar. From a pre-list made by the Brazilian National Team’s technical committee with 50 names, 13 of them were already away due to injury at their clubs. Unfortunately, we also lost Casemiro. Therefore, Pepe, from Porto, a native striker who now plays as a midfielder, is called up.” Late on Saturday evening, the Brazilian football federation confirmed that Porto striker Pepe had been called up to replace the United star, raising serious doubts about his participation in Sunday’s tantalizing FA Cup match.
After playing the whole ninety minutes in their last three games, Casemiro has not received an update from the Red Devils as of yet. In his place, manager Erik ten Hag would probably choose Scott McTominay, teaming the Scotland international with young wonder Kobbie Mainoo.
That being said, Ten Hag has four more players available than he had before Saturday’s 2-0 victory against Everton at home since Mason Mount, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, and Rasmus Hojlund have all returned to training.After being called up by Argentina for their doubleheader, center-back Lisandro Martinez is expected to be available for United’s remaining games. Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw, two longer-term absentees for the United defense, could potentially miss the entire season.
