Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is in a baffling situation regarding his physical condition. He felt something wrong with his hamstring prior to the Liverpool game and spoke about it with the club’s doctor. The doctor then found nothing worrying about Casemiro, giving the former Real Madrid player signal to play.

Dissatisfied with the doctor’s assessment, Casemiro reported the issue to his personal doctor from Barcelona. As opposed to the verdict Man United’s doctor has given before, the doctor found a small injury in the area.
