Rashford out for the next few games

[Tom Van Persie]

 

[LARulz]

Glad it's not a season ender or anything but going to need the rest to really up their goal output

 

[Foolsgold21]

Could be a lot worse I guess - hopefully back on the bench for the semi-final against Brighton

 

[bosnian_red]

Brighton semi final is the main one I care about, though fear it'll be too soon

 

[horsechoker]

Seasons over

 

[Raw]

Worried about where the goals are gonna come from. Antony, Wout and Sancho need to up their game.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Could be worse

 

[Red Star One]

Not very specific this… still a few games in the season, perhaps he can be back for the Villa or league Brighton game? FA semi is surely too early

 

[Wilt]

Time for Martial to stand up and be counted.

 

[Rightnr]

As much of an update as the sale.

 

[cyberman]

Few games isn’t that much, sounds like a couple of weeks.
Theres only 9 games left so if he’ back for the run in it isn’t that far away

 

[Cutch]

I'm taking that to mean back for Tottenham or Villa, a 2-3 week injury

 

[Raw]

Sevilla H
Forest A
Sevilla A
Brighton N
Spurs A

Probably gonna miss the Sevilla games entirely FFS.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

We knew he'd miss a few games so this sounds like good news really. Could have been out for the rest of the season.

 

[Billy Jim]

Would be great to get him back for Brighton but I think Spurs away will be more realistic.

What's the latest on Garnacho?

 

[El Presidente]

Sevilla H
Forest A
Sevilla A
Brighton N
Spurs A

Probably gonna miss the Sevilla games entirely FFS.

Which is kinda ok, because he won’t be needed in those and he would have never been rested otherwise. If he somehow makes it back for Brighton at Wembley, a rested Rashford might be the difference there.

 

[Samid]

Vague as usual from the club. I think they're downplaying it slightly to not kill the morale. Highly doubt we see him again in April.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

Time for Martial to stand up and be counted.

He'll get injured / make himself unavailable very, very soon. Probably tomorrow. We all know this

Just like we all know that Casemiro will get booked and suspended for the second leg

 

[MonkeysMagic]

Given the frequency of games, potentially we could be looking at 6-8 games that Rashford misses.

That is terrible news and not sure who can replace his goals in our squad...years of experience tell me that player certainly isn't Martial!

 

[youngrell]

Frustrating that he's out just as Martial returns, but also thank god AM has returned.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Martial and Rashford are not allowed play together. It's just one of the rules of life.

 

[RyRy11]

Vague as usual from the club. I think they're downplaying it slightly to not kill the morale. Highly doubt we see him again in April.

Agreed, that Brighton, Spurs, Villa, Brighton run could potentially have us out of the top 4 without Marcus.

 

[FreakyJim]

Back for Spurs away is all I'm hoping.

 

[Offside]

Could be worse then.

 

[Shark]

Agreed, that Brighton, Spurs, Villa, Brighton run could potentially have us out of the top 4 without Marcus.

On the plus side though we have Eriksen and Martial back. Also Casemiro returning.

 

[Solius]

Big blow.

 

[Garethw]

Fantastic news! I thought he’d be out for the season.

They said a few games and not a few weeks?

 

[2cents]

Think we’ll be ok provided there’s no more injuries to our forward options.

 

[The Firestarter]

Fantastic news! I thought he’d be out for the season.

There are not many games left in the season so calling this rather vague update fantastic is rather odd.

 

[2cents]

What's the latest on Garnacho's return?

 

[stu_1992]

It's pretty much what we all expected but doesn't make it any less disappointing to be honest.

The others need to step up. And we can't afford any other attacking injuries. There are some season defining games coming up so this is concerning.

 

[Siorac]

Which is kinda ok, because he won’t be needed in those and he would have never been rested otherwise. If he somehow makes it back for Brighton at Wembley, a rested Rashford might be the difference there.

He would have been very much needed for the Sevilla games. I know they are having a poor season but missing our main goalscorer massively increases the chances of an upset. They get a goal and shut up shop... we might be in trouble.

Let's hope Martial, Antony, Sancho, Bruno step up.

 

[Borys]

We should be ok in most games, we will struggle in big games.
My biggest worry is we have no threat against a high line now.

 

[Garethw]

There are not many games left in the season so calling this rather vague update fantastic is rather odd.

I thought his season was done, so losing him for 2-3 games is fantastic news in my opinion.

If others can’t step up and our entire season depends on just one player staying fit, then we don’t deserve to finish top 4 or win the other trophies.

 

[Blood Mage]

There goes our main threat on the counter which will encourage teams to play higher up the pitch and press us which we can't handle yay.

 

[humdinger]

Could be worse. A bad groin strain can take months. Hopefully he’ll be back to fire in a few goals before season finishes.

 

[Kostov]

There goes our goal threat.

 

[48 hours]

There goes our goal threat.

Scott upfront it is then

 

[matsdf]

As long as we get Casemiro back I'm not really worried.
