The 31-year-old requested to be taken off late on in Brazil's draw with Venezuela on Friday, with only a week to go before Man Utd are back in action.
Manchester United have been left sweating over the fitness of Casemiro after the midfielder sustained an ankle knock in Brazil’s 1-1 draw with Venezuela on Friday.
The Brazil national team uploaded a brief clip of the United player onto its Instagram stories on Friday night, while a video on their website shows the midfielder walking off the team bus. United are due to take on Sheffield United in seven days' time. Casemiro is suspended for the subsequent Champions League clash with Copenhagen the following Tuesday after being sent off for two yellow cards during the 3-2 defeat to Galatasaray earlier this month.
Speaking after the game, Brazil head coach Fernandeo Diniz explained Casemiro’s withdrawal. “As there was a stop , I decided to make the three substitutions,” he told Globo Esporte. “We had a lot of control when they came on. Casemiro asked to come off due to a blow to his ankle.”
