Huge blow for Marcus Rashford ahead of Barcelona game at Camp Nou

This is the first team both teams will be facing each other in the UEFA club competition since 2019 when they both competed in the Champions League. Both teams are currently undergoing a rebuilding phase with Xavi Hernandez hoping to lead Barcelona to the top just like Erik Ten Hag's plans at Manchester United.
