Embarrassed in a shoulder since November 2020, the Manchester United striker had rejected the idea of an operation during the season, for fear of missing the Euro. He had a scanner on Tuesday and decided to sit on the table.
If surgery is not essential at this stage, Rashford fears “that his ability to move continues to be limited” according to the English daily The Telegraph. The intervention should take place at the end of July and leave the player on the sidelines for about two months. Rashford could therefore not return to the field before the beginning of October.
