"The Englishman is dealing with pain and discomfort in his knee, and as such, the Blaugrana have decided not to risk him as a precaution. "First-team player Marcus Rashford is experiencing discomfort in his left knee due to a blow received during the match against Mallorca. He will sit out tomorrow's match against Atletico Madrid as a precautionary measure," the club statement read."
"Considering that the Brazilian international is also unavailable due to a hamstring overload, Rashford's absence as well comes as a major blow for Barcelona. After all, the on-loan Manchester United forward has been a key contributor in front of goal for the Catalans, racking up more than 20 direct goal contributions this season. With no Raphinha and Rashford for tomorrow's Copa del Rey semi-final at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, it will be interesting to see who Hansi Flick opts to start on the left flank."
Marcus Rashford will not be available for Barcelona's Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid due to discomfort in his left knee after a blow in the Mallorca match. The club has chosen not to risk him as a precaution. Rashford missed group training alongside Raphinha, who is sidelined with a hamstring overload, leaving Barcelona without both left-flank options. Rashford has provided over 20 direct goal contributions this season while on loan from Manchester United. Hansi Flick must select alternatives on the left, with Ferran Torres, Fermin López or Dani Olmo possible choices, and Robert Lewandowski expected to start at No. 9.
