But Brazil already have a guaranteed spot for Qatar 2022, they just have to play to score a couple more goals and enjoy the rest of the qualifiers games.

Brazil has played well with or without Casemiro, but Casemiro’s absence is always difficult to assimilate in the squad. During the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Casemiro was absent for a couple of games but Brazil did not lose a game without him.
