Marcus Rashford has withdrawn from the England squad after picking up a knock during the win over Fulham and will be hoping to return to fitness in time for the match away to Newcastle United on April 2 (4:30pm kick-off).

Man United boss Erik ten Hag confirmed Varane would miss the Fulham match due to a ‘small’ injury. The Dutch manager hopes Varane will be back in contention for the trip to St James’ Park next month.

“He’s injured,” ten Hag said. “It’s difficult to say, but I think it’s something small. I think he’ll recover and be back after the international break.”

Like Rashford, Nick Pope has withdrawn from the England squad due to injury but is expected to be back in contention while Joelinton is set to return from suspension.
