Manchester United fans are hoping Casemiro does not pick up a yellow card in Thursday's Europa League clash with Sevilla and therefore be suspended for the second leg.
The midfielder returns to the line-up after completing his four-match domestic suspension following his red card against Southampton last month. Casemiro would have been eligible to play against Sevilla anyway with domestic bans not applying to European competitions.
But his comeback into the starting XI has nevertheless handed United a boost. However, the Brazilian is one booking away from another suspension, this time in the Europa League.

Casemiro sits on two yellow cards from previous rounds with a third seeing him miss the return leg in Spain. Cautions are wiped after the quarter-finals so United fans hope he can get through the both matches without blemish.
Casemiro has already missed eight games due to suspension this season having also been shown a red card for violent conduct against Crystal Palace after missing January’s clash with Arsenal for picking up five Premier League yellow cards in United’s first 19 matches.
Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes is also walking the same tightrope. Marcel Sabizter completes the midfield while Raphael Varane comes back in to partner Lisandro Martinez in central defence ahead of David de Gea.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Tyrell Malacia are the full-backs with Anthony Martial starting his first game since January 14. He is flanked by Antony and Jadon Sancho amid Marcus Rashford’s absence through injury.
Christian Eriksen makes the bench alongside the dropped Harry Maguire. However United fans on Twitter made one message loud and clear.
@BusbyBulletin: When you see Casemiro back in the team again but remember he faces another suspension if he gets booked tonight..
@micholasOdozor: Make sure you don't pick up a yellow card in the match
