Marcus Rashford was happy while working with England, even though he thought he might get hurt and have to miss some time.

The star player from Manchester United was replaced by Cole Palmer after 61 minutes of Friday’s 2-0 win over Malta. Just before, Rashford collided with Trent Alexander-Arnold. As he walked off the field, he looked like he was in a lot of pain.

“I think he is probably okay,” manager Gareth Southgate said to calm people’s worries that he was hurt.

“For the reason of the collision, we just thought it was a chance to get Cole into the game.”

“I haven’t assessed too much but I think he was okay when he came off.”England’s last Euro 2024 qualifier is tomorrow against North Macedonia. The team got ready for the game at Tottenham’s training ground.

Rashford took part in the whole workout and looked like he was fully fit.

This is good news for Southgate, who has already had Jude Bellingham, Levi Colwill, James Maddison, Lewis Dunk, and Callum Wilson pull out of the team.

And Kieran Trippier has pulled out because of personal issues since Malta’s win. The English are already set to go to the Euros and will win their group.

This is also great news for Manchester United because Erik ten Hag has already been hurt several times this season.

Andre Onana is no longer with the Cameroon team because he hurt his hip.

Just before the international break, Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen both pulled out of the Danish team because they weren’t feeling well.

Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Jonny Evans, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Amad Diallo were all hurt in United’s last game, which they lost to Luton.
