Rashford Ruled Out for Barcelona's Copa del Rey Semifinal

Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid on Thursday (12/02) at the «Metropolitano» for the Copa del Rey semifinal. However, Hansi Flick's team will have several absences, as Raphinha remains out due to special training in the gym, trying to return to the matches as soon as possible, ideally for the match against Girona on Monday (16/02). The player himself had expressed doubts about his timely return. In addition to Raphinha, a new problem arose for Hansi Flick, as Marcus Rashford did not train in the team's last training session. Rashford will miss the match against Atletico Madrid due to discomfort in his left knee, an injury he sustained in the match against Mallorca. Rashford's absence is a significant blow for Barcelona, as he is a key and valuable player. Hansi Flick will need to find alternative solutions to fill the void left by Rashford in the team's attacking line. This situation makes Barcelona's attempt to reach the Copa del Rey final even more difficult. Barcelona will have to face Atletico Madrid with several absences, making their mission even more challenging. Hansi Flick's team will need to show character and fight to overcome the difficulties and get the positive result they want.
