JAKARTA - Marcus Rashford was only two minutes late for a meeting that cost him a place at the Barcelona starter against Getafe on Monday, September 22, 2025, early in the morning WIB.

The 27-year-old is expected to start after scoring two goals in a midweek win over Newcastle United in the Champions League. However, he was later backed up in La Liga for disciplinary problems.

Barcelona players are scheduled to attend match day against Getafe at 09.30 am local time before the meeting and activation session at 11.00 am.

Launching ESPN, Rashford entered at 09.32 am. As a result, Hansi Flick's manager immediately implemented a firm rule requiring the British striker to start a bench-back match. Flick finally fielded Raphinha, Ferran Torres, and Robert Lewandowski on attack.

The German has a policy of zero tolerance for delays, with players often not being included in the starter because they come a little late for training or meetings.

Raphinha was backed up last weekend against Valencia for the same reason as Rashford, which was late for a training session.

Jules Kunde and goalkeeper Inaki Pena, who now play at Elche, are among other players who have violated Flick's previous rules.

Rashford came in during the break and impressed in the second half, providing assists for Dani Olmo's third goal in a 3-0 win over Getafe, after Torres' two goals in the first half.

He began to find his best form at Barcelona after joining Manchester United on loan for one season in the summer.

After failing to score in his first four appearances, his last three appearances resulted in two goals and two assists.

Meanwhile, Barcelona will return to action on Friday, September 26, 2025, when they travel to Real Oviedo to maintain their unbeaten record in La Liga this season.

It is not yet clear whether the sentence for Rashford will continue or not.
