Rashford had played in every one of Manchester United’s Premier League fixtures this season until Saturday when, despite travelling to Craven Cottage with the rest of the squad, he was not involved in the 1-0 victory over Fulham.
The England international took a heavy knock to his leg in the last training session before the lunchtime kick-off and, after a late fitness test, it was deemed too risky for him to play.
There is hope though that Rashford can return at the Parken Stadium, where United could potentially move up to second spot in Group A by completing the double over Jacob Neestrup’s men.
