Manchester United will be without Casemiro for both of their upcoming games against Leeds United, after the Brazilian international was sent off against Crystal Palace.
Leeds will travel to Old Trafford on Wednesday evening, before hosting the Red Devils at Elland Road next Sunday. Casemiro was shown a straight red card after grabbing Crystal Palace midfielder Will Hughes by the neck. Man United were leading 2-0 at the time, and registered all three points, despite Palace reducing the deficit.
The former Real Madrid midfielder will now serve a three-match ban, which will see him miss both games against Leeds home and away, as well as their home clash against Leicester City.

Man United are already without Christian Eriksen until April due to an ankle injury, and signed Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich as a replacement.
Casemiro has been key to Man United's improved form under Erik ten Hag this season. The Red Devils lost 3-2 against Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium when Casemiro was serving a one-match ban in January.
