Manchester United will have to make do without midfield enforcer Casemiro when they travel to the Emirates Stadium to face Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.
The Brazilian international, who joined the Reds from Real Madrid for an initial fee of £60million last August, will miss the trip to the capital after receiving his fifth booking of the season during Wednesday night's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. He was cautioned with just ten minutes of normal time left on the clock for a crunching tackle on Wilfried Zaha.
If a player picks up five bookings within the opening 19 games of the campaign then they are forced to serve a one-match ban, meaning Casemiro collected his fifth yellow card of the campaign in the final game before the cut-off point. United have not started a Premier League game without him since the 6-3 defeat to Manchester City on October 2.
