Marcus Rashford might miss Bournemouth clash owing to knee injury: Reports

Recent reports from a section of the media reveal that Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford might have injured himself with his knee-slide celebration after he scored a brilliant free kick against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup. Reports also add that the England International might not be available for selection because of his injury and might end up missing Manchester United’s crucial game against Bournemouth.

Notably, Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had claimed earlier that the youngster is expected to regain fitness for Saturday’s match. However, according to a report carried by The Sun, Rashford might have injured his knee during his celebration and chances are that he may not feature in the game against Bournemouth at all.

“We’re playing football, it’s not basketball. Some of them are sore, but you should be absolutely down on your knees after a game of football because it’s worth it when you win a game,” Solskjaer said in a post-match interview with the team’s official website.

“They [Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire] are quick healers and let’s hope they’re ready for Saturday. Three away wins in a week when you haven’t won in a while. At least that talk about us not winning away from home is gone.

“The boys have been working hard and have never let the goals out of their sight. We know we’ve been close, we’ve been close quite a few times and we just haven’t managed to tip the margins our way. Now we have.

“That’s football, sometimes it goes for you, sometimes it goes against you. Tonight we’re happy and we just make sure we try to ride this wave for a bit longer until the international break,” he concluded.
