MANCHESTER UNITED will learn the full extent of Marcus Rashford’s injury on Monday.
The club’s 28-goal top scorer limped out of the action towards the end of their 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday with what is understood to be a groin injury.
He is likely to be absent from Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final first leg at Old Trafford against Sevilla on Thursday.
But the fear is he could be out for a number of weeks.
In what was his 350th appearance for the club, Rashford pulled up as he stretched to reach a pass from Christian Eriksen.
He immediately signalled to the bench he needed to come off and was replaced in the 81st minute.

Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag was clearly concerned after the game.
Ten Hag said: “We have to wait. He doesn’t look well.”
The Dutchman blamed the injury on United’s fixture schedule.
He was unhappy the Red Devils played late afternoon last Sunday at Newcastle, midweek against Brentford and were chosen for the 12.30pm kick off on Saturday.

He said: “This was avoidable. All science and research tell you players need a certain time to recover.
“It is also part of the schedule that we are now finding ourselves in this situation and now we can only pray he is not dropping off.”
Rashford has played 52 games this season for club and country.
He recently pulled out of the England squad for their Euros double header against Italy and Ukraine with a knock.
He went on a break to New York during that time which Ten Hag said was good for him to turn off totally from football for a while.
If Rashford is sidelined for a number of weeks it will put extra emphasis on Anthony Martial who has just returned from injury.
He came on as a sub for a third game in a row on Saturday and got his first goal since February 1.
