RASH IN THREE LIONS INJURY SCARE

- By RICHARD FAY

MARCUS Rashford has handed England an injury scare ahead of the World Cup.

Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate confirmed the United forward is his only injury concern heading into the tournament, after he picked up a ‘slight knock’ in training on Monday.

Rashford flew out to Russia with the rest of the squad on Tuesday afternoon, and is a doubt for their first World Cup training session today.

Speaking after his side landed in Russia, Southgate confirmed the news.

“Marcus (Rashford) took a slight knock, but nothing too serious, we’ll look at that ahead of tomorrow’s session which is open for everybody to see.”

Rashford starred for England in their preparatio­n for the tournament in Russia, scoring a brilliant long-range effort as they defeated Costa Rica at Elland Road last Thursday.
