Marcus Rashford is out for Bar\u00e7a-Athletic in LaLiga Matchday 13. The Englishman played the first 16 games of the 25\/26 season, but will not be available for the return to Spotify Camp Nou<\/h2> \r\n

FC Barcelona<\/strong> confirmed the absence of Marcus Rashford<\/strong> for matchday 13 of LaLiga EA Sports 2025\/26<\/a>. The English winger, a starter in the last 10 games for Hansi Flick<\/strong>‘s team, will miss the match against Athletic Club “due to flu symptoms<\/strong>,” according to the medical report<\/a> issued by the club before the game.<\/p>

‘Rashy’ was unable to train in Thursday and Friday’s sessions for this reason, although he was present at the Ciutat Esportiva on Friday. The ’14’ played with England against **Serbia** (2-0) and **Albania** (0-2), accumulating 65 and 15 minutes in both appearances, respectively.<\/p>

However, after his return to Catalonia, he suffered flu-like symptoms that have kept him sidelined for the first time this season. Marcus is the forward with the most minutes on the squad (1,134′)<\/strong> and the only one who, until now, had participated in all league (12) and Champions League (4) matches.<\/p>

When will Rashford play for Barcelona again?<\/h2>

As it is a flu process, Rashford should have no problem traveling to London next Monday and being back against Chelsea<\/strong>, on Tuesday the 25th at Stamford Bridge (21:00 h). The 28-year-old forward has already scored braces against Newcastle (1-2)<\/a> and Olympiacos (6-1)<\/strong> in the Champions League, in addition to providing a couple of assists in the first four matchdays<\/p>

Against Chelsea, Marcus scored 6 goals and provided 5 assists in 21 matches for Manchester United. Barring a surprise, the England international should return to the starting lineup, given that Raphinha still needs several days to regain competitive rhythm.<\/p>

Bar\u00e7a loses Rashford in return to Spotify Camp Nou, but recovers Joan Garc\u00eda and Raphinha<\/h2>

For now, Rashford is Bar\u00e7a’s assist leader with 8 and has the most goal involvements at the start of the season (14), after scoring 6 goals in his first 16 appearances as a Culer. Against Athletic, Ferran Torres will take his place on the left wing, completing the attacking trident alongside Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski.<\/p>

Flick, while losing the Englishman for the 13th matchday of LaLiga, welcomes back **Joan Garc\u00eda and Raphinha**, both injured since last September 25th during the visit to Oviedo. The goalkeeper will start on his return<\/a>, while **the Brazilian expects to play 15-20 minutes** in the second half.<\/p>

The ’11’ had the most trouble recovering from his right thigh injury. Rapha thought he would be available for the Cl\u00e1sico against Real Madrid<\/strong>, but he relapsed with his hamstring discomfort. Joan, for his part, completed the expected recovery time after undergoing surgery on his left meniscus.<\/p>
