Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford departed his team’s win over Everton ten minutes early after suffering an apparent groin injury.
The England international has been in lethal form all season, but since the World Cup in particular, and his absence in upcoming matches will be a real problem for the Red Devils.
Rashford scored four Premier League goals before the finals in Qatar as Erik ten Hag began to restructure the team, but since returning after Christmas the No.10 has been unstoppable, hitting 11 in 15 league appearances to yield a season tally of 27 in all competitions.
His potential absence will be somewhat softened by the fact Anthony Martial, who has been beset by injuries himself this term, scored off the bench against Everton to seal a 2-0 win following Scott McTominay’s first-half opener.
