    Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford was back in training on Wednesday afternoon as they ramp up preparations for their Europa League quarter-final against Sevilla.

    Marcus Rashford trained with his Manchester United team-mates on the eve of Thursday's crunch Europa League quarter-final at Sevilla.
    The 25-year-old pulled up holding his groin against Everton 11 days ago, with the club announcing he was expected to be out for a "few games".
    Rashford missed last week's 2-2 first-leg draw with Sevilla and Sunday's 2-0 Premier League win against Nottingham Forest, but there appears hope of him being involved in Thursday's returning meeting in Spain.
    The England forward trained with his United's team-mates at Carrington on Wednesday morning, when Luke Shaw also worked with the main group after an issue of his own.
    Fellow left-back Tyrell Malacia missed Sunday's trip to Forest with a sore knee but also trained on Wednesday.
    Marcel Sabitzer, who pulled out of the starting line-up at the City Ground after picking up an issue in the warm-up, also worked with the group, but Scott McTominay did not.
    Bruno Fernandes is another out of Thursday's match as he serves a one-match suspension at Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.
    Lisandro Martinez and Donny van de Beek are out for the rest of the season, while Alejandro Garnacho and Raphael Varane remain sidelined.
