Rashford sustained a minor muscle injury during the first half of the 2-1 defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday. The 27-year-old, who scored a first-half penalty at the Etihad Stadium, was able to continue after the break before he was replaced with Ollie Watkins after 76 minutes.

Further tests will be done to establish the severity of Rashford’s injury but it is not anticipated that he will need surgery.

Marcus Rashford's involvement in the remainder of Aston Villa's campaign is now in serious doubt after manager Unai Emery confirmed the forward is nursing a hamstring injury sustained earlier this week.
