Marcus Rashford begins new rehab, fitness for Liverpool derby on 22 November uncertain
Rashford travelled to Dublin for a specialist consultation and has a new recovery plan, but the injury is not fully healed.
Marcus Rashford has begun a fresh rehabilitation programme after an injury that has sidelined him for about a month, casting doubt over his availability for Manchester United’s upcoming derby at Anfield.
Medical trip and new plan
The forward, who last appeared for United in the 0-2 defeat to Atlético Madrid last month, travelled to Dublin last week accompanied by a member of Manchester United’s medical staff to consult a specialist who works on groin-related injuries. Following the examination, Rashford was given a revised recovery programme.
United hope the new treatment will put Rashford back on track to face Liverpool on 22 November, but the club have acknowledged that the injury, which began in the hip area and later worsened with pain spreading toward the groin, has not yet fully healed.
Coaching and medical staff are monitoring his progress at Carrington and adjusting training loads to avoid setbacks. The club are aiming for a careful return rather than a rushed comeback given the recurrence of symptoms.
If Rashford is unavailable, United will have to consider alternative attacking options for the derby at Anfield on 22 November. The fixture remains a major moment in the calendar and the team is assessing short-term options while managing the recovery process.
Manchester United say they will provide updates as the forward progresses through the new programme, but for now his participation in the Liverpool match remains uncertain.
