Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has suffered an injury scare ahead of the club's UEFA Champions League league-phase match against Azerbaijani champions Sabah.
İdman.Biz reports that the England international was substituted in the 70th minute of the Premier League match against Everton after feeling discomfort. The encounter ended in a 2-2 draw.
Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick said the problem was not serious and praised Rashford's performance.
"He felt a little problem, nothing serious. Marcus has looked really good since coming back. He was quick and dangerous again today, creating good opportunities and constantly posing a threat to the opposition," Carrick said.
The manager also expressed disappointment with the result against Everton. Manchester United took the lead twice but conceded the equalizer in stoppage time.
"It feels like a defeat. Of course, we got a point, and you cannot ignore that. But I think we should have taken more from this game," Carrick added.
Manchester United will play their next match on September 10, when they host Sabah at Old Trafford in the opening round of the Champions League league phase.
The fixture will mark an important occasion for the Azerbaijani champions as they begin their campaign against one of England's most successful clubs. Rashford's fitness will be monitored in the days leading up to the match, although Carrick's comments suggest the injury is not expected to be a major concern.
