REPINO: Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford (pic) will have an injury assessed, said England manager Gareth Southgate as his side touched down in Russia for the World Cup.

Rashford shone with a stunning opening goal in England’s final warm-up friendly against Costa Rica last week but England are hopeful he will be fit for their tournament opener against Tunisia on Monday with Southgate describing the injury as a “slight knock”.
