Marcus Rashford of Manchester United will miss Thursday’s match against Sevilla due to a muscle injury sustained last weekend.
Marcus Rashford was replaced in the second half of Manchester United’s Premier League match against Everton on Saturday. He was seen holding his groin as he exited the pitch, indicating that the 25-year-old in-form English forward is injured.
On Wednesday, April 12, ahead of Manchester United’s Europa League match against Sevilla, United’s coach Erik ten Hag confirmed that the England international will be out for a few games.
The Dutch tactician said;
I can’t give more details of it because we don’t know.
We have to see how it develops, the injury.
Of course, it’s a setback and he’s disappointed about it, but he’s not totally broke because he knows he will return quickly. He’s optimistic and he’s started straight on his recovery and his rehab so that helps to get back soon.
While the club expects the Englishman to return before the end of the season, coach Erik Ten Hag expects French forward Anthony Martial to score against Sevilla at Old Trafford on Thursday night (8 PM WAT).
Coach Ten Hag confirmed ahead of the Europa League game that Martial, who has struggled with fitness issues this season, is fit to play.
The coach said;
The 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.
The 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.
But I think already against Everton he was ready to start a game.
