Rashford back in training

LONDON. — Marcus Rashford has returned to training for Manchester United before the Europa League quarter-final second leg in Sevilla tonight.

Rashford, 25, has not played since he sustained a groin injury during United’s home Premier League win against Everton on April 8. United had said the England striker, who has scored 31 goals this season, would “miss a few games”.

Luke Shaw, Marcel Sabitzer and Tyrell Malacia also trained at Carrington.

Rashford was unavailable for the first leg against Sevilla at Old Trafford, which United drew 2-2, as well as Sunday’s 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest.

Sabitzer, who scored twice against Sevilla, was withdrawn from the starting line-up at the City Ground after picking up an injury in the warm-up, while Malacia also missed the trip with a knee problem.

Shaw, meanwhile, has not played since he was substituted in United’s 1-0 win at home against Brentford on 5 April.

Should he be fit to play, the England defender could provide much-needed cover at centre-back, with Lisandro Martinez ruled out for the season and Raphael Varane also picking up an injury against Forest. —  BBC Sport.
