Carrick Confirms Injury Concern for Man United Attacker After 2-2 Draw Against Everton
Carrick said Rashford felt a minor issue in the second half and United will assess him before deciding on his next appearance.
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford was forced off during Sunday's 2-2 Premier League draw against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Manager Michael Carrick confirming the substitution was linked to a physical issue.
Carrick explained the decision was precautionary after Rashford reported "feeling a bit of something" during the second half, as the 28-year forward remains one of his most dangerous attacking options.
Matthijs de Ligt has returned to training after 10 months sidelined by back surgery, though a first-team comeback remains weeks away; Carrick noted, "He's in good shape and moving in a good direction."
New signing Carlos Baleba continues to recover from a minor ankle issue that delayed his debut, with Carrick saying, "It'll be great to have him back when we can."
Amad Diallo is recovering from a muscle injury and will be out "a little bit longer," while Manuel Ugarte remains sidelined following knee surgery and is not expected to return until 2027.
