Manchester United have suffered an unprecedented "storm of injuries" this season, and the latest international player to suffer another injury is Brazilian midfielder Casimiro, who was substituted towards the end of the last match. Dinis confirmed that Casimiru has an ankle problem, but the details of his injury are not yet known. Given the number of players who have been injured this season, United have begun an in-depth investigation into the cause of this "injury storm".
In their last World Cup qualifier, Brazil played Venezuela to a 1-1 draw. In the final stages of the match, three players, including Kasmilu, were substituted in quick succession. Diniz explained, "Kasmilu was subbed because of an ankle injury and asked to be substituted himself." Brazil will face Uruguay on the road next Wednesday (18th), and it is unclear whether Casimiru will recover in time to return to action.
