Manchester United striker Rashford was unlucky to leave the Premier League double-red match on Sunday night (7) after sustaining an injury. The incident not only left United with a 2-2 draw against Liverpool, but also left the 26-year-old England international looking downcast as he left the field. Lashford appeared to be extremely frustrated with his continued slump this season. Prior to this, England manager Shoebridge had revealed that Foo might not be available for the upcoming UEFA Nations League final week in June, and this injury has put his participation in the tournament even more in doubt.
When the game reached the 65th minute, Rashford went down with an injury and looked helpless. Teammates rushed forward to show concern for his condition and offer comfort. Despite the severity of his injury, a substitution was eventually signaled for Anthony Mafios, who came on in his place, and the subsequent recovery is not yet known.
Lashford has scored just eight goals in 38 games for United this season, a marked decline from last season's 56, and his private life has come under fire as a result. In January, he delayed his return to the squad, missing training and missing the game against Newport County due to an illness caused by an irregular nightlife.
Despite Rashford's performances in three consecutive games over the last month, the good times didn't last long. United have lost all three of their recent matches, and with Lashford once again injured, they appear to be in a slump. England coach Thufty said last month that there was a wealth of talent ahead of the national team and that there was no guarantee that Lashford and Kiarly would be selected for the European Army roster and that they would need to compete with others. With less than six months left in the season, it remains to be seen whether Lashford can prove himself worthy of selection for the British Army.
