Striker Marcus Rashford had to leave the field in the last minutes of the match against Barcelona with a limp and was in danger of missing Man Utd’s Carabao Cup final against Newcastle.
Rashford had to leave the field in the 88th minute of Man Utd’s 2-1 win over Barcelona in the second leg of the Europa League play-off round on February 25. The England striker was spotted limping as he left Old Trafford after the match ended.
On his personal instagram, Rashford made fans even more worried when he posted a picture of him leaving the field with an emoji bandaged on his leg.
When asked if Marcus Rashford is ready to play against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final (taking place at 23:30 on February 26, Vietnam time), coach Ten Hag said: “I don’t know. We are waiting for the results of his medical examination.
We checked yesterday but can barely tell right now. We have to wait for a 100% accurate diagnosis to make a decision.”
The Dutch strategist also confirmed striker Anthony Martial will definitely not be at Wembley. The French striker has endured an injury season and is still training individually this week.

“It’s a great team, they have a clear philosophy on how to play. Their strength is their ability to press, they make opponents feel uncomfortable. So we have to find a way to win the game. win,” said coach Ten Hag before facing Newcastle.
