Barcelona’s nightmare evening against Sevilla got even worse when Marcus Rashford appeared to pick up an injury just after the final whistle. The Catalan giants suffered a 4–1 defeat, one of their heaviest under Hansi Flick, and Rashford’s visible pain sparked fears of another major setback.
However, reports from Diario SPORT journalist Carlos Monfort have since eased concerns. According to sources inside the Barcelona camp, the injury is believed to be minor, with early indications suggesting it’s only a small knock. Rashford is expected to return within two weeks, a huge relief for Flick and the fans.
Barcelona’s injury crisis has been mounting, with Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Gavi, and Fermin Lopez already sidelined. Losing Rashford — one of the few bright sparks in recent games — would have deepened the club’s troubles.
Despite the loss, Rashford’s individual performance stood out. His pace, movement, and creativity caused problems for Sevilla’s defense, though he often found himself isolated due to a lack of support.
With the injury now deemed minor, Barcelona can breathe again. The English forward is expected to undergo light recovery sessions before rejoining full training, as Flick looks to rally his team back into form after a turbulent week.
In short: Rashford’s injury scare appears to be nothing serious, and his quick return will provide a much-needed boost for a Barcelona side already fighting to stay competitive amid mounting fitness setbacks.
