According to Samuel Luckhurst, Rashford has been assessed by the team’s medical staff and the striker will now be available for selection against Eddie Howe’s men.
During the Ten Hag press conference, the Dutchman was asked about the 25-year-old’s availability. The United manager said on Friday: “I don’t know [whether Rashford would be available]. The players are now coming in.”
“We have to carry out investigations, medical, of course, we did yesterday. So immediately after a game, most of the time you can’t tell, you have to wait for a 100 percent diagnosis.”
“So let’s do the medical exam, the job, we have to wait.”
That the 24-goal attacker is in contention to play is a huge boost for Ten Hag.
