I think the back issue was last season he's recovered from that.
He injured his shoulder earlier in the season and it needs surgery but it can be managed so they decided to delay the surgery but I also think he's carrying an ankle injury that he's suffered in the last few months. Again he can play through the pain but it's obvious when he takes a big tackle he is in a lot of pain and he isn't able to run and change direction at full speed.
As for Ole picking him that's partly down to Ole but also down to the club not getting in more players last summer we are still short of wide options and have been for a few years now. Martial getting injured and being out of form hasn't helped either as it's probably meant Rashford has had to play out the final few months of the season rather than getting a rest to recover from his injuries.
