Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has revealed that Marcus Rashford is a major doubt for Saturday's La Liga contest with Athletic Bilbao due to an illness.

The England international, who is on loan at the Catalan club from Manchester United, has been in strong form this season, scoring six goals and registering nine assists in 16 appearances in all competitions.

The 28-year-old was again in line to start against Athletic at the newly-renovated Camp Nou on Saturday, but he has been unable to train for the last two days due to an illness, and Flick has conceded that the attacker is a major doubt.

“Marcus has a fever and hasn’t been able to train yesterday or today. I have doubts about him playing tomorrow," said the Barcelona head coach during his pre-match press conference.
