Ahead of the game against Liverpool, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer shed light on the striker’s condition, confirming that the striker’s back condition had worsened after the injury against Wolves.
However, Solskjaer also provided assurances that the striker would be afforded enough time to regain full fitness, while also confirming that he could be a lengthy absentee.
Rashford aggravated his pre-existing back condition against Wolves
According to Henry Winter, the Englishman was already suffering from a single stress fracture in his back, which had not been treated yet. However, against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Rashford’s single stress fracture was compounded into a double stress fracture. Understandably, the Englishman is expected to be out for 2-3 months, which means that he could miss the majority of the remaining season.
To make matters worse, it has also come to the fore that Rashford has a floating bone in his ankle, which needs to be removed by a non-intrusive surgery. The Englishman has actually been playing through the pain barrier for the team so far this season.
The news will come as a huge blow for Solskjaer, who has been heavily reliant on the Englishman this season in the absence of Paul Pogba. Rashford has scored 19 times already this season for United and will be a huge miss for the Red Devils.
