The 20-time English champions released a statement on Thursday saying, “Casemiro was absent [from Thursday’s training session], having remained in Brazil, on the club’s advice, to recover as swiftly as possible from a small issue picked up while playing for his country.”

“He will be unavailable for Saturday’s game with the Blades but is expected back at Carrington early next week to resume training, although he is suspended for the UEFA Champions League encounter with FC Copenhagen at Old Trafford, after being sent off in the defeat to Galatasaray.”

Therefore, the Manchester derby on October 29 might be Casemiro’s return game for the club.

The Brazilian has once again been an important cog for Man United in 2023-24, playing 11 times and contributing to four goals and one assist.

Before the international break, Casemiro’s defensive contribution was questioned, and he was taken off in the first half of a 2-1 loss to Brentford.

On Thursday, however, Man United received a double boost when both Sofyan Amrabat and Sergio Reguilon showed up to training with the first squad.

Amrabat was injured and unable to play for Morocco during the international break, and Reguilon has missed the last four matches for his loan squad owing to a hamstring ailment.

This weekend, the Red Devils will be without Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw, and Amad Diallo due to injuries.
