MARCUS RASHFORD IS hopeful of a return to contact training soon as the Manchester United and England forward continues his recovery from shoulder surgery.
Rashford is yet to play this season, having undergone an operation on his shoulder last month.
The 23-year-old posted a message on Twitter that read: “Happy Monday. I see the doctor on Friday for a consultation.
“All being well, I will get the green (light) to join in with contact training again.”
Having played with a shoulder issue for much of last season, Rashford decided after being part of England’s Euro 2020 campaign that he would have surgery.
The operation took place on 6 August, with Rashford saying four days later that “everything went well”.
He has missed eight matches in all competitions so far this term for United, who host Villarreal in the Champions League on Wednesday then Everton in the Premier League three days later.
Rashford also missed England World Cup qualifiers against Hungary, Andorra and Poland earlier this month.
Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate is set to name his squad on Thursday for matches against Andorra and Hungary on 9 and 12 October.
United then return to action by playing Leicester away on October 16.
Good luck Leinster Keep the momentum going
Fair play to Lyon though, you have to give it to em.
Bonus point as requested and delivered. Build on the lead now.
Don’t take the foot off the pedal. Let’s hope for a thumping performance and that Lyon are competitive.
What an absolute joke of a video ref disallowing Fardy’s try. If you get that pernickety about it then no try would ever be given. Pathetic.
@Vincent O’Keeffe: and after all the microscopic bullshit they missed a clear neck roll on Treacy.
Free stream?
@Ao: MOBDRO, LiveNetTV TV. VIP, first row,
Whitehouse is screwing Lyon
Examples allowing Leinster to have men diving in beyond the ruck creating space clever but illegal. Offside in defence at every breakdown. Lowe trying to use the boot in the ruck that is illegal with years. Toners contact to the face accidental yes but under the rules a yellow card. Whitehouse try’s to give Leinster the disallowed try in spite of being told by the TMO there was a clear knock on.
@Brian Gallivan: you can use your boot in a ruck, you just can’t kick it out, nothing illegal there at all, massive chip on yo shoulder there though!
@Brian Gallivan: anything else??
@Umpaloompa:
No chip whatsoever all you can ask for is consistency. He has just called the exact same offences against Lyon when Leinster are attacking and gives them a warning. I hope Leinster win but hate to see Whitehouses incompetence having a bearing on the game. Any difficulty with my other comments
@David: Did you just see what Fardy did in the build up to Deegans try Whitehouse misses I again
@Brian Gallivan: with relation to going past the ruck and the offside, I’m pretty sure the Leinster coaching staff have seem Munster get away with it all the time (e.g. vs Connacht in the interpros), and decided to give it a go.
@Brian Gallivan: your complaining about what every team does, as for Whitehouse trying to give the try, he clearly couldn’t hear the tmo and couldn’t see a problem himself, no ref or tmo ever calls that, good spot all the same.
Leo looks pissed off.
Little ‘Nigel’ should shut up pontificating and let teams play.
That try from Conway! Mon dieu!
