Marcus Rashford has been suffering with a nasty bout of the Winter vomiting bug ahead of crunch clash with Liverpool... but is pushing to be available after being cleared to return to training by medics

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has been suffering with the Norovirus ahead of tomorrow’s crunch clash versus Liverpool. 

The England international was unavailable for Wednesday’s Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich with what head coach Erik ten Hag described as an ‘illness’. 

And Mail Sport understands that Rashford was struck down with the Norovirus - otherwise known as the winter vomiting bug. 

Rashford returned to training on Friday and is expected to participate again today provided he didn’t feel any ill-effects overnight. 

Ten Hag said on Friday that Rashford would be available for the trip to Anfield on Sunday. 

Provided Rashford comes through Saturday’s session, he should available. 

The forward has been pushing hard to return as soon as possible despite suffering heavily from the sickness bug in recent days and is desperate to help the team after missing the previous two matches - both of which have ended in defeat. 

United medics are now sure Rashford is not infectious, clearing his return to the club’s Carrington HQ. 

On the NHS website, symptoms of the Norovirus include: nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, a high temperature, headaches and aches.
