Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has confirmed he is working hard with the club's physios to get back to full fitness ahead of the run-in.
United's leading goalscorer was substituted during the 2-0 win over Everton with a suspected groin injury. After the match, a frustrated Erik ten Hag slammed the Premier League for their scheduling last week, with United playing late on Sunday 2 April, before a midweek game against Brentford and an early kick-off against Everton last Saturday.
Ten Hag also deemed that the injury was avoidable and that he hoped that Rashford would not be out for too long. On Wednesday, the manager provided a fresh update on the 25-year-old's fitness.

The manager said: "It's a few games [which he will miss]. I can't give more details because we have to see how the injury develops.
"Of course it is a setback and he is disappointed about it but he is not totally broken because he knows he will return quickly. He is optimistic and he has started straight on his recovery and his rehab. That helps him to get back soon."
Rashford confirmed the start of his recovery on Twitter after the press conference. Responding to United's tweet confirming his injury, the forward posted: "I'm working hard with the physio to get back ASAP. See you soon."
Having scored 28 goals so far this campaign, United's main concern is where the goals will come from without him. Striker Anthony Martial has recently returned from injury and after scoring at the weekend, he will be hoping to add to his tally on Thursday when the Reds host Sevilla in their Europa League quarter-final first leg.
