Erik ten Hag: “I’m not unhappy with that because as a player you don’t just need to play for your club, you need to play for your country. We know Casemiro is a very dedicated player, he wants to play every game, whether it is with the national team or Manchester United, he will give everything. Casemiro was injured in the first game for the national team and although he was substituted he played the second game, which was an important one. However, I believe that such a long time out is not good for his recovery. But it is not a big injury and he will be back next week.”

“Of course, if you can’t fix the players who start, your tactics can’t be formed and the injuries have had a detrimental effect on us. But as you said, I can’t use that as an excuse because we have a very good team and we have to try to win every game and the players have to know what to do. I have been in similar situations before and as a coach you find that sometimes you are in a very bad situation. But as I said, you learn to make the most of it, you have to stay together and stay positive, so when the injuries come back we will play at a high level.”
