Manchester United have confirmed that Marcus Rashford “will be unavailable for a few games” on the eve of their Europa League tie with Sevilla.
The England international limped off during United’s 2-0 Premier League victory over Everton on Saturday, and went straight down the tunnel to receive treatment. Following further examinations by the club’s medical staff, the Red Devils have released an official statement confirming that Rashford will miss the first leg of their quarter-final clash with Sevilla due to a muscle injury.
United have not given a timeframe for Rashford’s recovery but he will now be out for at least a “few games”, which comes as a huge blow to Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag admitted the injury was a big setback to Rashford, who is in the form of his life, but said he is already working on getting back to full fitness. “Of course its a setback, he’s disappointed about it,” the United manager said. “He’s not totally broke because he knows he will return quickly, he’s optimistic and he’s started straight away on his recovery and rehab and that helps to get back soon.”
