Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford wonโt play against Sevilla on Thursday due to a muscle injury he sustained last weekend.
On Saturday, Marcus Rashford was substituted in the second half of the Premier League game against Everton. While he was leaving the pitch, he was seen holding his groin which signaled that the 25-year-old in-form English forward is injured.
On Wednesday, April 12, ahead of Manchester Unitedโs Europa League game against Spanish club Sevilla, Unitedโs coach Erik ten Hag confirmed that the England international will be sidelined for a couple of games.
The Dutch tactician said, โI canโt give more details of it because we donโt know.
โWe have to see how it develops, the injury.
โOf course, itโs a setback and heโs disappointed about it, but heโs not totally broke because he knows he will return quickly. Heโs optimistic and heโs started straight on his recovery and his rehab so that helps to get back soon.โ
While the club expects the Englishman to return to action before the end of this season, coach Erik Ten Hag would bank on French forward Anthony Martial to slot in the goals against Sevilla at Old Trafford on Thursday night (8 PM WAT).
Ahead of the Europa League game, coach Ten Hag confirmed that Martial who has been struggling with fitness issues this season is ready for the Europa League game.
The coach said, โThe frontline against Brentford [United beat Brentford 1-0 with Martial coming off the bench] did well and then we decided to continue that against Everton and they did again very well.
โThe advantage was also we can bring Anthony Martial slowly back but in the team, give him minutes, get him used to the game at the highest level, to high intensity.
โBut I think already against Everton he was ready to start a game.โ
