Rashford to join England squad despite injury

 

Marcus Rashford will join up with the England squad despite missing Manchester United’s FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Leicester on Sunday through injury.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said after the game – which Rashford missed through a foot injury – that the club’s medics were in discussion with their counterparts at the FA about the striker joining up with his international team-mates.

Solskjaer thought it was “likely” Rashford would still travel to St George’s Park, where he will be assessed by FA doctors later on Monday and will miss the subsequent training session.

If doctors rule he cannot train for at least a full session on Tuesday, then Rashford is likely to not feature in the starting XI when England face San Marino in their World Cup qualifier at Wembley on Thursday.
