Casemiro saw his tenth yellow card of the season in the game against Eibar. As one was rescinded on appeal, he is one card away from a second suspension.
The Brazilian midfielder was on eight yellow cards prior to the restart. He had already served one ban and is close to another.
His bad challenge on Exposito at the beginning of the game against Eibar cost him a card which leaves him one away from suspension.
The next two games are crucial. 'Los Blancos' host Valencia and travel to Real Sociedad. Casemiro has to watch his step so he can play against Real Sociedad three days later.
Zidane could reserve him against Valencia to guarantee his presence in San Sebastian or trust he will not get booked.
