On October 15th, 2019, Manchester United and England forward Marcus Rashford suffered an injury that has ruled him out of England’s Euro 2020 qualifiers. The injury occurred during United’s 1-0 win over Arsenal in the Premier League.
Rashford was taken off the pitch in the second half of the match with what appeared to be a back injury. He was replaced by Jesse Lingard, who scored the winning goal for United. After the match, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said that Rashford had suffered a “nasty knock” and that he would be assessed further.
The news of Rashford’s injury has been met with disappointment from both Manchester United and England fans. Rashford has been in excellent form this season, scoring seven goals in all competitions for United and two goals for England in their Euro 2020 qualifiers. He was expected to play a key role in England’s upcoming qualifiers against Montenegro and Kosovo.
Rashford’s injury is a major blow for both Manchester United and England. United are already without the services of Paul Pogba, who is recovering from an ankle injury, and will now have to make do without Rashford for the foreseeable future.
For England, the news of Rashford’s injury is a huge setback. The Three Lions are currently top of their qualifying group and are expected to qualify for Euro 2020. However, without Rashford, they will be missing one of their most important players.
At this stage, it is unclear how long Rashford will be out for. However, it is likely that he will miss at least a few weeks of action. It remains to be seen if he will be fit in time for England’s next Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro on November 14th.
