The operation took place on August 6. Rashford four days later announced that the surgery went well.

He has missed eight matches in all competitions so far this term for Manchester United. Rashford also missed England World Cup qualifiers against Hungary, Andorra, and Poland earlier this month. England boss Gareth Southgate is set to name his squad on Thursday for the matches against Andorra and Hungary on October 9 and 12.

“Happy Monday. I see the doctor on Friday for a consultation. All being well, I will get the green [light] to join in with contact training again.”

Manchester United suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season on Saturday against Aston Villa. Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side host Villarreal in the Champions League on Wednesday before Everton visit Old Trafford three days later.

Marcus Rashford appeared 57 times for Manchester United last season and scored a decent 21 goals in the season. The forward previously scored 22 goals in 44 appearances in the 2019-20 campaign.
