Another day, another update on Marcus Rashford (£7.2m).

The Manchester United midfielder had been on the cusp of a comeback from a leg injury when illness ruled him out of Saturday’s clash with Bournemouth.

Rashford made a return to training on Tuesday and now, in his pre-match press conference, Erik ten Hag has given out a relatively positive update ahead of Thursday’s visit of Chelsea – albeit without quite giving his winger-cum-striker the all-clear.

“It looks like [he will be available]. Yesterday he returns in training and he looks quite fit but we have to see today what the outcome is from the training, how did he recover, and then we will make our choices.” – Erik ten Hag on Marcus Rashford

Lisandro Martinez (fractured metatarsal), Marcel Sabitzer (knee) and Donny van de Beek (knee) are definitely on the sidelines for the concluding Gameweek 37 match.

CHELSEA

Frank Lampard confirmed on Wednesday that Joao Felix has recovered from a minor injury and is available to face Manchester United.

Reece James (hamstring), Mason Mount (pelvic), Ben Chilwell (hamstring), N’Golo Kante (groin), Marc Cucurella (quad), Armando Broja (ACL), Benoit Badiashile (groin) and Mateo Kovacic (unknown) remain out.

Media reports suggest that Nick Pope will be out of action in Gameweek 38, with the Newcastle United goalkeeper set to undergo hand surgery now that UEFA Champions League qualification is assured.

    If Lewis is playing right back tonight Mitoma will have a field day Lol Yep I think it may be Lewis Walker Stones Gomez. Nightmare fullbacks so Brighton will cash in big time 3-0 My prediction

    Looks like Pep may have given this match up in his love in with the Brighton Manager. Grealish might have been too drunk too travel Lol

    Lol, I have Grealish captain and Chilwell vice captain (by mistake obviously). Always good with a GW 37 like that to clinch the cash leagues!

    Is Grealish hurt or just being the only City player rested for both games?
