Barcelona forward Marcus Rashford faces a race against time to recover from a knee injury ahead of Monday’s derby against Girona after missing the club’s midweek cup exit.
Barcelona may be without Marcus Rashford for Monday’s crucial derby against Girona as the forward continues to struggle with a knee injury.
The Englishman sustained the issue during last weekend’s victory over Mallorca and was subsequently forced to sit out the club’s Copa del Rey defeat to Atlético Madrid on Thursday.
Rashford is reportedly working hard on his recovery, but his availability remains a major concern.
Medical reports suggest the injury is persistent enough to threaten his participation in the upcoming La Liga fixture.
According to Diario AS, “His knee is slightly injured. Rashford is sidelined and his participation in the match against Girona is uncertain.”
Head coach Hansi Flick now faces a selection headache as he looks to rebound from the midweek disappointment without one of his primary attacking threats.
