Flik substituted Rashford due to physical condition

After the friendly match against Japan's Vissel Kobe, in which the Catalans won 3-1, Barcelona's head coach Hans-Dieter Flick explained the factors that led to forward Marcus Rashford playing for a limited time on the field. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to the coach, Rashford is slightly behind in physical preparation because he started training later. Therefore, a cautious approach was taken, and limited time was allocated on the field to preserve his health.

It is worth noting that the Spanish club has taken this player on loan from Manchester United, with the option to buy him later. In the match against Vissel Kobe, Rashford was on the field for about half an hour before being substituted.

This decision is aimed at improving the player's condition for the team's future successes.
