JAKARTA - Manchester United lost midfielder Casemiro against Sheffield United in the Premier League England continued at the Bramall Lane Stadium, Sunday, October 22 in the morning WIB. Casemiro suffered an ankle injury while strengthening Brazil against Venezuela in the CONMEBOL 2026 World Cup qualifier. Casemiro was pulled out and replaced by Andre when the qualifying match was 11 minutes remaining. However, he continued to appear in the next match against Uruguay.

In this duel, Brazil lost 2-0 and lost Neymar who was injured by ACL so he would be absent for a long time. Casemiro himself played full in that match.

Despite playing full time, this 31-year-old midfielder has actually not recovered from an ankle. This is what makes him miss the Premier League match. Because Casemiro chose to undergo recovery in Brazil. The defensive midfielder will only return to Manchester United next week.

Casemiro's absence is clearly a tough blow to MU. The former Real Madrid midfielder is the midfielder of the Red Devils. His duet with Christian Eriksen became the mainstay of manager Erik ten Hag.

However, Casemiro's position could be replaced by Scott McTominay who scored a brace towards the end of the match while at the same time giving MU a 2-1 win over Brenford.

Casemiro also did not appear when MU played a crucial match against Copenhagen in the Champions League.

It's not about injury, but the player who has won the Champions League five times with Madrid was forced to miss because of the ban on playing. The reason is, he got a red card in the last match against Galatasaray.

Despite losing one of the senior players, MU may be strengthened by Sergio Reguilon and Sofyan Amrabat who have recovered from injury.

Both of them have returned to training and when fit, Ten Hag will field them in this weekend's game.

MU did succeed in breaking the bad trend after swallowing two consecutive defeats in the Champions League and domestic competition by winning over Brentford. But they need consistency to improve their position in the standings.

Sheffield itself is not a tough opponent for the Premier League record holder. The reason is, Sheffield occupies the basis of the standings. It's just that if MU is still in the way, then Sheffield will still be the opponent who makes it difficult for them.
