Rashford returns next week
Fabrizio Romano has provided an update, claiming Rashford is expected to return to the Barcelona squad next week.
The England international did not train last week and missed the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid due to knee discomfort, which he suffered in his previous game against Mallorca.

Now, according to the latest news from Romano, the Manchester United loanee could return next week, meaning he could miss a third game in a row with Barca facing Levante later on Sunday.
Since playing for the club, Rashford has scored 10 goals and 13 assists in various competitions, becoming an important contributor to Flick’s team.
Barcelona, for their part, are very pleased with how his loan spell has gone so far. While awaiting his return from knee discomfort, the Catalans may continue to try to convince United to agree to a transfer fee of less than €30 million.
