Marcus Rashford injury update ahead of clash against Newcastle United

Marcus Rashford picked up a knock in Manchester United's 3-1 victory over Fulham in the FA Cup quartefinals. This led him to miss the opening two games of the European qualifiers, as he returned to training only a couple of days ago.

Marcus Rashford has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 14 goals in the Premier League so far. He has scored 27 goals in all competitions, with 19 of them coming after the World Cup in Qatar. Manchester United are scheduled to face Newcastle United on Sunday, as the battle for the top four intensifies. A win for the hosts could see them leapfrog over the Red Devils into the third place, based on goal difference.

Marcus Rashford was seen enjoying his time off by jetfing down to New York to spend some time with his girlfriend. England manager Gareth Southgate was not particularly happy with the forward's absence, but defended his decision to spend his time off.

It seems that Marcus Rashford will feature in the starting lineup for the clash against Newcastle on Sunday. The two teams faced each other in the Carabao Cup Final in February, where the Red Devils claimed a 2-0 victory.
