Marcus Rashford was dropped to the bench for Barcelona’s win over Getafe after the Manchester United loanee was two minutes late for a training session.

After scoring his first goals for the club last Thursday with a brilliant brace against Newcastle United in the Champions League, Rashford’s Barcelona career appeared to be up and running.

The forward was expected to retain his place in the starting XI when the La Liga giants hosted Getafe on Sunday, especially with Lamine Yamal still sidelined with injury.

But instead, Ferran Torres was named in the line-up, a decision that paid off as the former Manchester City star scored twice in the first-half.

Rashford came on at half-time for Raphinha and performed well, setting up Dani Olmo to score and seal a 3-0 win.
