Rashford, Saka to miss England World Cup Qualifiers against Albania and Poland with injury

Marcus Rashford reported for England duty with a foot injury and will return to Manchester United for rehabilitation; Bukayo Saka misses out with hamstring issue.

Rashford missed United's FA Cup quarterfinal defeat to Leicester last Sunday after picking up the foot injury against AC Milan in the Europa League.

England will be without striker Marcus Rashford and winger Bukayo Saka for its World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Poland due to injury, the FA said on Friday.

 

Rashford missed the 5-0 win over San Marino at Wembley on Thursday after joining the England camp with a foot problem and will continue his rehabilitation with his club Manchester United, the FA added in a statement.

 

Arsenal's Saka remained at the London club for further assessment on a hamstring issue and will now also miss the Group I games in Albania on Sunday and at home to Poland on Wednesday.
