ESPN: Rashford signed in 2 minutes late before the game, Frick immediately lined up him out of the starter

Hupu September 22 According to a joint report by ESPN reporters Rob Dawson and Sam Marsden, a source confirmed to ESPN that Barcelona striker Rashford was only two minutes late against Getafe on Sunday, which cost him the club's starting position in the game.

27-year-old Rashford was expected to start in the weekend's league after scoring twice in the Champions League match against Newcastle United last week, but he appeared on the bench.

Barcelona players were originally scheduled to arrive at 9:30 am on the day of Getafe match and then held a meeting at 11 am. A source confirmed to ESPN that Rashford was signed in at 9:32 a.m. Frick has set strict regulations on participating in meetings and training with players punctually, and those who fail to meet the standards will be abandoned regardless of their position in the team. Previously, Comte had been ruled out of the starting lineup by Flick twice for being late. When asked about this after the game, Frick said: "It is normal for him to not start. Now we have a game every three or four days, and we need to arrange his playing time reasonably." ESPN said that Barcelona coach Frick adopted a zero-tolerance policy for being late, and players are often excluded from the team because of training or meetings later. Rafinia was put on the bench last weekend's match against Valencia for the same reason as Rashford and was late for Sunday's training.

And Conde and goalkeeper Penia, who has left the team, are also one of the other players who have violated Flick's rules in the past. It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time Rashford has been punished by the team for being late in his career. During his time at Manchester United, Rashford was excluded from the starting lineup by then coach Ten Hach,
