Villa fear Rashford could miss the rest of the season with the hamstring injury which kept him out of the FA Cup semifinal, a source has told ESPN.

Rashford left boyhood club Man Utd in January after failing to impress head coach Ruben Amorim and subsequently being frozen out by the Portuguese. The forward weighed up his options before landing at Aston Villa on loan. Unai Emery’s side have the option to sign Rashford permanently this summer for £40million (€47m / $53m).

Marcus Rashford is likely to miss the remainder of the Premier League season, a blow to Aston Villa as they push for Champions League qualification. The forward, on loan from Manchester United, has been a key figure in the side since joining in the January transfer window.
