Marcus Rashford Will Miss the Match Against Sevilla and "A Few Games" Despite Being Injured, back for Manchester United Match
Posted : 18 April 2023
Marcus Rashford will miss "a few games," according to Manchester United, and is unable to play against Sevilla on Thursday owing to a muscle problem.
United will now have to contend without their leading scorer from this season when they play their Liga opponents in the opening leg of their Europa League quarterfinal.
With 28 goals now, Rashford has been Erik ten Hag's star player for United so far this season. This is a record for the 25-year-old attacker.
Finding players for the front line has been difficult for United. On the wings, Jadon Sancho and Antony have occasionally underwhelmed, Wout Weghorst has struggled to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo on his loan from Burnley, and Anthony Martial has missed much of the season with an injury.
However, Rashford was forced to leave the game against Everton at Old Trafford after 80 minutes due to injury, and the Frenchman scored as a substitute in that 2-0 victory for United.
With 48 goals, four more than United, and a far better goal difference, Eddie Howe's team is in third place in the Premier League with the same number of points as United.
A statement was posted on the club's official website.: “Subsequent assessment of the injury suggested that Marcus will be unavailable for a few games, but is expected to be back for the season run-in.
“The England international’s absence is a disappointment given his red-hot form this season, with 28 goals in all competitions.
“But there will also be relief about the prospect of his return for important games in the final weeks of the season.”
Ten Hag said of the injury that his team could cope: “We have many more players across the squad who can score.”
"We have enough players with the capabilities to score goals, definitely.”
In addition, Christian Eriksen has recovered sufficiently from an injury to start against Sevilla, while Casemiro is eligible after missing four domestic games owing to a ban.
