The England striker was absent from Aston Villa's 0-3 loss to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final on April 26. Speaking after the match, coach Emery said: "He got injured in the middle of the week. We are doing tests. Rashford has a problem with his hamstring and may not play for the next few weeks."

On April 23, Rashford suffered a muscle injury in the first half of the 1-2 defeat to Manchester City. In this confrontation, the English striker successfully converted a penalty in the 18th minute before being replaced by Ollie Watkins in the 76th minute.

Rashford's injury is a blow to Aston Villa's ambitions of finishing in the top five of the Premier League. Emery's team are planning to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Before getting injured, Rashford had 4 goals and 4 assists for Aston Villa.

Aston Villa are currently in 7th place, 3 points behind 5th-placed Chelsea and 5 points behind Newcastle. There are only 4 rounds left in the Premier League season.

Manager Ruben Amorim also said Rashford will return to Manchester United after his loan at Aston Villa ends. Aston Villa have the option to buy Rashford for £40 million, but have not yet made a final decision.

Some sources in England said that Rashford is aiming to join a club in the Champions League next season. Barcelona is one of the clubs that have shown interest in Rashford's case.
