Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, stated on Friday that he is unsure if the in-form Marcus Rashford will be available for Sunday’s League Cup final against Newcastle United.
The 25-year-old forward, who has been in outstanding form this year, assisted the Red Devils in their victory over Barcelona on Thursday in the Europa League quarterfinal play-off round. United defeated the Spanish league leader 4-3 overall after winning 2-1 at Old Trafford.
After Rashford was replaced in the 88th minute, he appeared to imply on Instagram that he had taken a knock by uploading a photo of himself looking uncomfortable while walking down the touchline and using a bandaged emoji.
When asked if the attacker will be fit to play in the Sunday game at Wembley, Ten Hag responded, “I don’t know. Players are now entering the game. Of course, we need to conduct medical research as well.
“Yesterday we did, but often you can’t say right after the game. We must wait for a definitive diagnosis.
Anthony Martial, who hasn’t played since February 1, won’t be able to play in the game as United looks to break their six-year trophy drought, according to Ten Hag.
