Due to suspension, Marcus Rashford of Manchester United will miss a pivotal Champions League match against Galatasaray. Marcus Rashford, a star player for Manchester United, will miss a pivotal Champions League match next week against Galatasaray due to a one-match ban that was confirmed by UEFA on Friday.
In United’s 4-3 loss to Copenhagen earlier this month, Rashford was sent off for “rough play” following a challenge on Elias Jelert.
Erik ten Hag, the United manager, described it as “harsh,” but after a VAR review, UEFA accepted referee Donatas Rumsas’ ruling. “It always seems worse when you freeze it, in my opinion. My disappointment with these decisions is profound.
Ten Hag stated at the time, “I believe the game was never intended to be this way. “It has nothing to do with football.”
Rasmus Hojlund suffered a muscle injury against Luton prior to the most recent international break, so Ten Hag will be hoping he’s back. His availability for Sunday’s Premier League match against Everton will be determined on Saturday.
Following a thigh injury that kept the England international out of action since August, Luke Shaw is back. Goaltender Andre Onana is available following an injury sustained while representing Cameroon. Jonny Evans is sidelined due to a thigh injury, while Christian Eriksen is out due to a knee injury.
Ten Hag claims that Mason Mount needs to have his “issue” resolved prior to the Everton match.
Following their loss in Copenhagen, Manchester United’s chances of making it to the Champions League knockout stage were compromised. With just three points from four games, United is presently mired at the bottom of Group A. Bayern is expected to win the group, but the Premier League team is only one point behind Copenhagen and Galatasaray.
