United’s Rashford to miss crucial Champions League game

Following UEFA’s confirmation of Marcus Rashford’s one-match punishment, Manchester United will travel to Galatasaray next week to play in the Champions League without the striker.

The red card was sent to Rashford for “rough play” when he tackled Elias Jelert in United’s 4-3 defeat to Copenhagen earlier this month.

Even though United manager Erik ten Hag called it “harsh,” UEFA confirmed referee Donatas Rumsas’s decision following a video assistant referee review.

It always appears worse when frozen, in my opinion. Decisions like this disappoint me greatly. Even Ten Hag himself said that such a state was never intended for the game. “It has nothing to do with football.”

After losing to Copenhagen, United’s chances of making it to the Champions League quarterfinals were in jeopardy.

With three points, United are currently in last place in Group A. The chances of the three-time European champion advancing would be eliminated if Wednesday’s match against Galatasaray was lost.

Ten Hag is holding out hope that Rasmus Hojlund, the Danish striker who strained a muscle against Luton just before the international break, will be able to play. The decision on his fitness will be made on Saturday, therefore he might return for Sunday’s Premier League match against Everton.

TҺe EnglаnԀ ιnternаtιоnаl Luke SҺаw Һаs been оut sιnce аugust Ԁue tо а tҺιgҺ ιnjury, but Һe ιs nоw аvаιlаble tо plаy. аnԀre оnаnа, tҺe Cаmerооnιаn gоаlkeeper wҺо tооk а knоck wҺιle plаyιng, ιs nоw elιgιble tо plаy. Ԁue tо knee аnԀ tҺιgҺ ιnjurιes, CҺrιstιаn Erιksen аnԀ Jоnny Evаns wιll nоt be аble tо plаy.

Mason Mount has to have a “issue” evaluated before the Everton game, according to Ten Hag.
