Casemiro will miss Manchester United‘s Premier League fixture against Sheffield United on Saturday after being advised by the club to remain in Brazil to continue his recovery from an ankle problem.
The midfielder picked up the injury during Brazil’s 1-1 draw with Venezuela on Friday but was declared fit enough to play 90 minutes in a 2-0 defeat to Uruguay on Tuesday.

Casemiro was initially due back at United on Thursday but has been advised by the club to remain in Brazil to aid his recovery and will miss the trip to Bramall Lane on Saturday.
He’s set to return to Carrington early next week, although he also will miss the Champions League clash against FC Copenhagen at Old Trafford on Tuesday due to suspension following his red card in the 3-2 defeat to Galatasaray.
