Marcus Rashford has potentially played his last game for Aston Villa after being ruled out of their game with Tottenham. The striker, on loan from Manchester United, has failed to recover from a hamstring injury he suffered last month.

Unai Emery has confirmed that Rashford is unavailable for their clash against Tottenham on Friday, meaning he could have played his final game for the club.

There is a simple message Unai Emery tells himself every morning which explains why Villa’s manager will take nothing for granted against Tottenham on Friday night.
