The Spanish newspaper "Sport" revealed that English star Marcus Rashford did not participate in Barcelona's training on Wednesday, which was held at the Joan Gamper Sports City, after receiving permission from the club and coach Hans Flick.

The newspaper explained that Rashford traveled to Manchester to work with his personal fitness coach to maintain his physical condition during the busy match schedule, noting that the player is undergoing a special training program that was previously agreed upon with the club.

Rashford also shared photos on his Instagram account while training in a gym in Manchester.

The newspaper added that player Pau Koubarsi also missed the training session with permission from the Catalan club, while coach Hans Flick used several players from the reserve team to complete the training.

The training session saw the return of Dani Olmo to participate with the group after two weeks of absence due to injury with the Spanish national team, while Rashford is expected to return to Barcelona on Thursday to participate in group training in preparation for the match against Elche in La Liga at the end of this week.
