Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford may not play until the end of October after deciding to undergo surgery for a shoulder injury.
Rashford, 23, had a scan Tuesday after being hampered by the problem in the second half of the 2020-21 season.
It was decided that the damage was so severe that calm alone could not repair it, and United hoped the English striker could carry out the operation immediately.
However, the surgeon will not be available until the end of July.
Rashford is expected to be out for 12 weeks, which will be a blow to United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans for the start of the new campaign.
The news broke the day Rashford’s English teammate Jadon Sancho received medical treatment as his £ 73m move from Borussia Dortmund to United drew near.
