As Manchester United prepare to welcome Sevilla to Old Trafford on Thursday, Erik ten Hag will be sweating on the fitness of Marcus Rashford.
At 1-0 up against Everton on Saturday and on course for three more points, the Dutchman decided to keep Rashford on in the hope that he and Anthony Martial - who came off the bench on 60 minutes - could reignite their relationship upfront. They did exactly that, capitalising on a Seamus Coleman mistake for the Frenchman to tap home a second.
But when Rashford pulled up, signalling to the bench and holding his groin 10 minutes later, Ten Hag's heart will have dropped with the rest of the Old Trafford crowd. The 25-year-old found time to give a young Red his shirt but cut a forlorn figure limping towards the tunnel, fear intensifying with each sheepish step.
