Marcus Rashford To Miss Villa's Final Matches Over Injury Setback

Marcus Rashford is reportedly set to miss the remainder of Aston Villa's season due to a hamstring injury sustained ahead of their FA Cup semi-final clash.

The 27-year-old forward, who joined Villa on loan from Manchester United in January, was absent from the squad for Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Crystal Palace. Villa boss Unai Emery confirmed after the match that Rashford was dealing with an injury likely to keep him out for 'some weeks."

Having already been eliminated from both the Champions League and FA Cup this month, Villa are now left with just four Premier League fixtures as they aim to secure European qualification.

Rashford had enjoyed a resurgence during his time in Birmingham, contributing four goals and six assists, after being sidelined earlier in the season by United manager Ruben Amorim . Despite his improved form, his long-term future remains uncertain, with three years still remaining on his Manchester United contract.

His performances were strong enough to earn a recall to the England national team by new head coach Thomas Tuchel, featuring in recent matches against Albania and Latvia.
