"Marcus Rashford was just two minutes late for the meeting which cost him his place in Barcelona's side against Getafe on Sunday, a source confirmed to ESPN. Rashford, 27, was expected to start after scoring a brace in the midweek win over Newcastle United in the Champions League, but was left on the bench. Barça players were due in on the day of the Getafe game at 9.30 a.m. ahead of a meeting and an activation session at 11 a.m."
"Flick has a zero tolerance policy on lateness, with players regularly left out of the team for arriving marginally late to training or meetings. Raphinha was dropped to the bench last weekend against Valencia for the same reason as Rashford, arriving late for the activation session on the Sunday. Jules Koundé and goalkeeper Iñaki Peña, now at Elche, are among the other players who have fallen foul to Flick's rules in the past."
Marcus Rashford arrived two minutes late to a pre-match meeting and was left out of Barcelona's starting lineup for the Getafe game. Rashford checked in at 9.32 a.m. despite players being due at 9.30 a.m., and Hansi Flick's enforcement of punctuality rules meant Rashford began the match among the substitutes. He entered at half-time, assisted Dani Olmo's goal, and helped secure a 3-0 win. Rashford has recorded two goals and two assists in his last three outings since joining on loan from Manchester United. Barcelona travel to Real Oviedo next aiming to maintain an unbeaten LaLiga start.
