Rashford’s tummy bug sees Liverpool fans claim ‘he’s literally s****ing himself’

Marcus Rashford has received about as much sympathy as you would expect from Liverpool fans following his reported tummy trouble.

Manchester United return to the scene of last season's 7-0 destruction by their greatest rivals when the sides meet on Sunday. United actually went on to finish above Liverpool in the league table, but that looks highly unlikely this season.

Jurgen Klopp’s side go into the game 10 points clear of Erik ten Hag’s strugglers. Both sides have injury and illness issues ahead of the Anfield showdown, which Liverpool are hot favourites to win.

For United, that includes Rashford, who missed the Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich, reportedly because of the sickness and diarrhoea bug norovirus. With United fans fearing another Anfield battering, Liverpool supporters reckon Rashford and his team-mates are suffering from nerves.

“Haha, that’s the Anfield effect,” said one. Another quipped: “He’s quite literally s******* himself.”

A third joked: “They’re all s******* themselves tbf.” Another waded in: “I’d do everything possible to avoid disaster as well.” A fifth declared: “’Dumped’ out of Europe.”

Rashford is expected to be available for the game after joining in with training since the defeat to Bayern, although given his recent form, he may have to settle for a place on the bench.

However, Bruno Fernandes will miss out after picking up a fifth booking of the season for dissent. The United captain’s absence compounds an eye-watering list of absentees, including injured Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia and Amad Diallo.

Mason Mount, Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof have also been laid low recently, while Jadon Sancho remains banished from the first team. Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw went off through injury against Bayern and the former has joined the lengthy list of absentees, which Anthony Martial remains on through illness.
