Manchester United striker missed pre-match training against Bournemouth

With just one day to go before their Premier League clash with Bournemouth, key striker Marcus Rashford was absent from the team's first-team training.

Marcus Rashford was substituted midway through the game between Manchester United and Liverpool last weekend due to injury problems. At the time, manager Ten Hag said nothing was a big deal, and Rashford himself responded on social media that he was "fine".

However, Rashford was not seen in the team training photos released by Manchester United today. That made it uncertain whether he would be able to play on Saturday.

Manager Erik ten Hag will be asked about Marcus Rashford's injury at his press conference on Friday, so let's see what he has to say.

If Rashford does miss the game, then his place is likely to be replaced by Antony, as was the case against Chelsea last week.

Marcus Rashford's form has not been great this season, scoring just eight goals and providing five assists in 38 appearances in all competitions. In recent times, some United fans have also criticised his lack of hard work.

In addition to Marcus Rashford, United are also facing injury problems in other positions. Raphael Varane and Evans are both unavailable in today's training session and it is likely that they will also miss the game against Bournemouth.

As a result, Camawarra is likely to start back-to-back starts, partnering Harry Maguire to form a centre-back pairing for Manchester United. Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof are both back from injury in early May, and Camawala is a blessing in disguise.

In the last three Premier League games, United have picked up just two points, drawing with Brentford and Liverpool and losing to Chelsea. I wonder if they can get a win against Bournemouth this time?
