Casemiro was sent off for his tackle on Southampton’s Carlos Alcaraz (Sport360)
Casemiro will serve a four-game suspension after he was sent off in Manchester United’s Premier League clash with Southampton on Sunday.
The Brazil international was dismissed in the first half at Old Trafford for his challenge on Carlos Alcaraz.
Referee Anthony Taylor initially gave Casemiro a yellow card but after reviewing the incident on the VAR monitor, he upgraded it to a red.
Casemiro has already been sent off in the Premier League this season as he was dismissed in the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on February 4.
That means the 31-year-old, who has been instrumental in United’s midfield following his arrival from Real Madrid, will be given a three-game suspension and will sit out a further match because of his previous red card.
