MANCHESTER UNITED loanee Marcus Rashford has been ruled out of Barcelona’s historic LaLiga match against Athletic Bilbao.
Barca finally return to their revamped Nou Camp stadium today where they will host Bilbao following an absence of more than 900 days.
However, Rashford, 28, won’t be part of the Blaugrana’s highly-anticipated comeback following a heartbreaking medical update from the club.
The Catalan giants announced the versatile forward will miss the league game against Bilbao due to flu.
The England international has returned to scintillating form at Barcelona after his omission by United manager Ruben Amorim, who ordered him to train alone during the summer with the infamous ‘Bomb Squad’.
That included fellow Man Utd outcasts Jadon Sancho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia and Alejandro Garnacho.
