Disaster for Brazil! After Neymar, another superstar gets injured

The international break has left its mark in the ranks of the Seleçao.

Marked by Neymar’s serious knee injury, this international break will perhaps be seen as a turning point in this 2023-24 season for the Brazil team. Already deprived of its superstar for its upcoming games, the Seleçao also lost another senior player to injury.

Defensive midfielder Casemiro was injured during this break. The nature of his problem and the duration of his unavailability have not yet been communicated by the Brazilian Federation. But Casemiro has already announced his withdrawal for his club’s resumption match, opposing Manchester United to Sheffield United, this Saturday, in the Premier League.

This information is surprising if we recall that the former Real Madrid player was fielded in Brazil’s two matches, against Venezuela (1-1) then against Uruguay (0-2). “He stayed in Brazil, on the advice of the club, to recover as quickly as possible from a small problem contracted while playing for his country”Manchester United said in an official statement.
