The Brazilian national team have suggested that Casemiro will miss Manchester United’s FA Cup clash with Liverpool on Sunday.
The midfielder has been ruled out of Brazil’s upcoming fixtures against England and Spain.
The exact injury to the 32-year-old is unknown, but head coach Dorival Junior revealed the Man United man was not available.
“We have just received a report from Dr. Rodrigo Lasmar,” the Brazil manager said.
“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.”
There has been no official update from Manchester United on Casemiro ahead of their FA Cup showdown with Liverpool.
