Manchester United: Fans want to see Marcus Rashford rested during international break

England’s medical team will keep a close eye on the fitness of Marcus Rashford in the run-up to their Euro 2020 qualifier against Czech Republic on Friday, even though the Manchester United forward has declared himself fit for the game.

The Daily Mail reported that the 21-year-old completed an indoor training session at St George’s Park on Monday and is set to begin full training from today, following the groin injury he incurred in his club’s 0-2 defeat to West Ham last month. The news was relayed to followers of the @utdxtra Twitter account.

Despite going off injured at London Stadium a couple of weeks ago, Rashford has played in each of Manchester United’s last three matches, featuring for the entirety of their Premier League games against Arsenal and Newcastle. [via TransferMarkt]

He goes into the international break on a barren run of form, with just one goal in his last nine games for his club, that a penalty against Leicester nearly a month ago.

These Manchester United fans on Twitter are hoping that Rashford will be given a breather during the international break:

The lads desire to play for club and country is absolutely unbelievable but he desperately needs the 2 weeks to rest and recover get some of his own training in…

Of course he has, he could have no legs and he would declare himself fit.

Just give yourself a break Marcus and come back 100% for United!!!

I hope he pulls out of the squad.. the mans burnt out. Needs a rest and find his form again. Been asking so much from him, a 21 yr old.
