The Brazilian midfielder was substituted at halftime during Manchester United’s Carabao Cup match against Newcastle on Wednesday night. It has now been revealed that he has suffered a hamstring injury.

According to a statement from the club, “Casemiro will be out for several weeks due to a hamstring injury suffered during our Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle United on Wednesday.”

“The Brazilian midfielder was withdrawn at half-time due to the issue, and subsequent assessment has revealed a strain that will keep him out for a number of weeks.”

Manchester United’s manager, Ten Hag, facing mounting pressure, expressed doubts about Casemiro’s availability for the upcoming match against Fulham.

He stated in his post-match press conference, “He was injured. Just before half-time, he got an injury. That’s why we had to take him off.”

When asked about a possible return date, he added, “I can’t give an answer on that. We have to wait 24 hours, but I think definitely for Saturday, he is out.”

Casemiro, a five-time Champions League winner, has had a challenging season, appearing far from his dominant self in Real Madrid’s midfield, frequently caught out of position and allowing opponents to easily bypass him.

Casemiro’s absence may create an opportunity for 18-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who showed promise during the preseason.

Manchester United suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat to high-flying Newcastle at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup, marking their eighth loss in 15 matches this season.

The pressure on Ten Hag is growing, but he remains resolute in his belief that he can turn the team’s fortunes around.

He stated, “I am a fighter and I know it is not always going to go up and we have a lot of setbacks this season.”

“But also you have to deal with it and that is never an excuse.”

“I have said that before. I know when there are setbacks but even then you have to get results. Sunday [and] tonight was far from that.”

“So we have to do things right at a certain level, the minimum level to win games.”
