Casemiro is our only midfielder that doesn't over commit too far forward when we have the ball. Fred is liable to be anywhere and Sabitzer seems to like to stay forward as well. Lindelof is good on the ball and could be the best option in the squad to cover for Casemiro on the defensive side at least.
Eriksen has positional discipline as well so will make things easier when he's back.
If ETH wants to keep the same shape and system Lindelof could work.
