Two Man City players can benefit from Marcus Rashford's England withdrawal

For England, Marcus Rashford's withdrawal with injury is bad news ahead of their first fixtures of 2023. One of their better players at the World Cup, and arguably one of the Premier League's players of the season so far, Rashford was in perfect form to kick on and make the England left-wing spot his own.

However, a knock in the FA Cup win over Fulham has ruled the Manchester United forward out of the fixtures with Italy and Ukraine, with no plans for the FA to call up a replacement.

His loss is Phil Foden's gain, as well as Jack Grealish's. If Rashford was in the squad, the two Manchester City wingers would be competing with him for the same left-wing spot.
