Rashford avoids ligament damage in derby injury

Marcus Rashford managed to avoid ligament damage in suffering an injury to his left ankle during Manchester United’s derby delight over Manchester City, scan results revealed on Monday.

Manchester United’s 23-year-old star striker suffered the injury as he raced back to battle Riyad Mahrez during the second half of the 2-0 victory — a result which doesn’t quite throw back into question the outcome of the Premier League title race, but certainly makes things more interesting from a longer-term perspective.

Rashford has scored 18 goals while appearing in all 43 of Manchester United’s competitive fixtures thus far in 2020-21.

According to reports, due to swelling and bruising Rashford was still unable to put pressure on his left ankle on Monday, which would seem to indicate he is set for a brief spell on the sideline.
