Brazilian midfielder Casemiro left Real Madrid during the summer transfer window to join Premier League side Manchester United.

Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric believes Real Madrid’s strength in depth in midfield means Real Madrid won’t miss the Brazilian midfielder.

Modric told Real Madrid TV: “We’ve started really well this year and we have a strong team. In midfield, we lost an important player in Casemiro, but we’ve got a lot of other good players to replace him and do a good job.

“[Aurelien] Tchouameni has adapted really well. This is [Eduardo] Camavinga’s second year and he had a great first year. Kroos has been here for a long time.

“[Federico] Valverde is also doing really well in any position. [Dani] Ceballos is helping the team a lot. We’re well equipped in this position.”

Carlo Ancelotti’s men play Mallorca in LaLiga on Sunday, before hosting RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday.
