Marcus Rashford may have played last game for Aston Villa after Unai Emery admission

Marcus Rashford will not play for Aston Villa again this season after being ruled out of Friday’s match against . Rashford’s hamstring injury will keep him out of Villa’s last home game and, with their final match coming against his parent club on Sunday May 25, it means his campaign is over.

The 27-year-old’s future remains in doubt, with Villa having a £40million option to turn his loan move into a permanent deal. He is thought to favour a move to a club next term and that is a target Villa have yet to secure.

Youri Tielemans has also been ruled out of Friday’s visit of finalists Tottenham. “Youri and Marcus are not available and Jacob Ramsey is suspended,” Emery said.

“We have to do each step forward, testing and analysing how they are recovering. I don’t know if they will be available physically (next week), because Marcus can’t play next week.

“But they are working every day and they are feeling better.” The game was moved to Friday night to accommodate Spurs’ request for more time to prepare for Wednesday’s Europa League final against Manchester United, a decision Villa were not happy with.

It is likely Spurs’ priority will be to get through the game unscathed ahead of the trip to Bilbao, but Emery expects them to pay the fixture full respect.

“They are trying to manage to play and Europa League, how they are performing in the Europa League is really fantastic,” Emery added.

“They are in the final…they are going to play with their better players, they are going to try and compete in getting the best performances to get ready for the final.

“To play in the Premier League each match for the supporters, as well as the league, is simple. I expect of them the best preparation for tomorrow and the final with the best players they have.”

Sixth-placed Villa are chasing , and as they bid to secure Champions League qualification for a second successive season. “I wish to play, I don’t want holiday because we are in a very good moment after a long season,” Emery said.

“Now we are very, very motivated, very excited to play in Villa Park tomorrow for our objectives we have in front of us to play again in Europe. It is not in our hands, but we can have some chance to play Champions League again. We are focusing on Tottenham.”
