"It's a [back] stress fracture. It happened against Wolves. It's not happened before, it happened there and then. He'll be out for a while."

When asked whether the club would seek a replacement for the 22-year-old, the Norwegian added: "We've had many injuries for big players this season. It's just an unfortunate situation we're in.

"We might look at some short-term deals as well that could take us through to the summer. We don't desperately need a striker, if the right one is there and it fits for us... we've got players who are champing at the bit."

Rashford has scored 22 goals for club and country this season, with 14 of those coming in the Premier League.
