Rashford came off struggling with a shoulder injury after scoring in United's 3-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The 22-year-old withdrew from Gareth Southgate's England squad during the most recent international break with a shoulder problem but has played in all four of United's games since.
"Marcus has been training this morning, not fully but he joined in with the group," Solskjaer said.
"His shoulder stopped him finishing the game so he's been getting treatment and hopefully he'll be part of the squad that travels, we'll see after training."
