Manchester United officially announced that attacker Rashford has suffered a muscle contusion, which will make him miss the crucial match against Xavier in the last eight of the UEFA Cup, and is expected to be out of action for a number of consecutive matches. However, according to the team doctor's assessment, Rashford is expected to return to the field at the end of the season in the key sprint stage.
Lashford was unlucky to suffer an injury in a recent Premier League clash with Ewarton. With 81 minutes to go, he delivered a crucial assist to help United take a 2-0 lead, an assist that was also a trusted pass to teammate Anthony Martial. However, he held on to the injury until the end of the game, limping off the pitch while still clutching his groin bit when he was substituted, when the circumstances had revealed the extent of his injury.
