"We have some problems with the team, Marcus is not able to play either now. He got a hit, so it's painful and we have to take care. This is not good news, but I believe in my team, even if the situation is not easy."
"Step by step. We have to take care of him. He's a player who is always giving everything, high intensity in the game. When he feels something, we have to take care, maybe go one step back. This is the situation. Of course I am not happy because we need him, Pedri, Gavi, Andreas and Marcus, but we have to manage it."
Barcelona confirmed Marcus Rashford will miss the Copa del Rey semifinal first leg at Atlético Madrid after sustaining a knee knock against Mallorca and being withdrawn as a precaution. Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, is not expected to face a long-term absence. Raphinha remains sidelined with a thigh problem and has not returned to training despite an earlier one-week estimate. The squad is also missing Pedri, Gavi and Andreas Christensen, forcing careful management of player recovery and rotation ahead of the two-legged tie.
