Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is not giving up hope of Marcus Rashford recovering from injury before the end of the season.
The 23- year-old has been struggling with a hamstring and was initially expected to be out for the final four games of the season.
However, Emery said: “For tomorrow (against Fulham on Saturday), he is not ready. He is working to be back as soon as possible.
“He is still weeks [away] to be available. Hopefully, he will play with us one or two matches.”
After the visit of Fulham, Rashford will only be eligible to feature against Bournemouth and Tottenham should he return to full fitness within the next fortnight.

“He’s still got a few weeks to be ready. Hopefully he can play one or two games with us.”
Asked if Rashford would remain with the Villans next season, the Spaniard replied: “Tomorrow is the game against Fulham. We don’t want to finish the season, we want to continue playing.
“Hopefully he can help us. He is recuperating here with us. I want to see him happy and then we will talk about it.”
