Manchester United have issued an update on Marcus Rashford’s fitness ahead of facing Nottingham Forest.
The Red Devils head to the City Ground in the Premier League this weekend, after playing Sevilla in the Europa League at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
Rashford was forced off during the second half of United’s victory over Everton last Saturday - and the club has provided an update on his fitness, confirming he “will be unavailable for a few games”. It means he won’t face Forest on Sunday.

“Marcus Rashford will be unavailable for Thursday’s UEFA Europa League quarter-final game against Sevilla because of a muscle injury,” said United on Wednesday.
“The forward was withdrawn in the 80th minute of Saturday’s 2-0 Premier League win over Everton at Old Trafford and immediately headed to the dressing room for treatment.
“Subsequent assessment of the injury suggested that Marcus will be unavailable for a few games, but is expected to be back for the season run-in.
“The England international’s absence is a disappointment given his red-hot form this season, with 28 goals in all competitions.
“But there will also be relief about the prospect of his return for important games in the final weeks of the season.”
