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).

Further tests will be done to establish the severity of Rashford’s injury but it is not anticipated that he will need surgery.
