Casemiro set for new position under Amorim after injury blow — Casemiro set for new position

The Red Devils suffered a huge setback yesterday with Victor Lindelof picking up a hamstring injury on international duty with Sweden.

As a result, they find themselves with just two fit centre-backs in Matthijs de Ligt and Jonny Evans ahead of the forthcoming game at Portman Road.

Leny Yoro has just returned to training after foot surgery while Harry Maguire is sidelined with a calf problem suffered before the last international break.

Lisandro Martinez has returned early from Argentina duty with a back problem and he remains doubtful to feature against the Tractor Boys.

This could force new manager Ruben Amorim into playing Casemiro in the middle of the back three as he is expected to deploy a 3-4-2-1 formation.

Casemiro would fit perfectly in Amorim's system as the Portuguese prefers his central centre-back to push forward when in possession.
