Barcelona star Marcus Rashford played no part in the club’s morning training session on Thursday.
This came with direct permission from those in a position of power at the Spotify Camp Nou.
As per a report from Blaugrana insider Javier Miguel of Diario AS:
‘Rashford did not attend training today because he had permission from the club for personal reasons. He is expected back on Friday.’
Initially, it was reported that wide-man Rashford’s notable absence at the Ciutat Esportiva had come as a result of a fitness complaint, throwig his status to face Athletic Club this weekend into doubt.
With as much having since been ruled out, however, the Englishman is expected to continue in his starting role in Barca’s Spotify Camp Nou return.
The Catalans are primed to kick their campaign back into gear following the year’s final international break on Saturday afternoon.
Emerge triumphant, and they will at least temporarily draw level with arch rivals Real Madrid atop the La Liga table.
