Rashford set for shoulder surgery
Marcus Rashford will likely be sidelined for 12 weeks as he opts to have surgery on his shoulder, according to reports.
Marcus Rashford will miss the start of the new Premier League season after opting to have shoulder surgery following Euro 2020, according to reports.
The Manchester United forward, who missed a penalty in England's 3-2 shoot-out loss to Italy on Monday (AEST) before being a target of racist online abuse, is likely to be sidelined for approximately 12 weeks, according to the BBC.
Manchester United's opening fixture of the 2021-2022 Premier League season is against Leeds United on 15 August (AEST).
Rashford had been hampered by the shoulder complaint during United's 2020-2021 campaign and it had been reported he would have surgery after the Euros.
The 23-year-old scored 21 goals across 57 appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils last season.
He played a limited role for England off the bench at Euro 2020, with five substitute appearances.
