Casemiro, Shaw, Martinez - Manchester United injury news and return dates before Fulham clash

Manchester United will have to cope without Casemiro for several weeks after the Brazil midfielder picked up an injury during the Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle United.

Casemiro (hamstring) came off at half-time in that game. Erik ten Hag was worried he would miss the next Premier League match with Fulham on Saturday lunchtime, but things are even worse than he feared.

In a statement released before Ten Hag's latest press conference, United confirmed they would be missing the ex-Real Madrid superstar for several weeks. That came as a bitter blow for United with so many matches coming up.
