All the latest injury news surrounding Chelsea and Manchester United ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash.
Chelsea failed to repeat their Premier League win over Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, losing 2-0 to the Magpies in the Carabao Cup. Enzo Maresca made a number of changes and saw his side miss out on the quarter-finals as a result.
Attention now turns to Sunday’s clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, with Ruud van Nistelrooy currently in temporary charge of the Red Devils. Here we round up the latest injury news surrounding the Blues and United ahead of this weekend’s clash.
Kobbie Mainoo - Out
Mainoo will be out until after the international break with a thigh injury.
Leny Yoro - Out
Ten Hag said before his departure: “Yes, he is doing very well. It is very pleasing that his rehab is going in the right direction, and I expect him soon, but what I mean by soon is that he is now in the right planning process. He is in the right spot, and he will return as soon as possible into the squad and then the team training.”
Harry Maguire - Out
Maguire will be out for another week or so.
Luke Shaw - Out
Ten Hag said of Shaw: “The process is not going as we expected. That's the truth. The setback, if you want to call it like this... We know his past; we have to do [his recovery] right. We can't have him playing for some games and then drop out again. So, we will do it very carefully.”
Tyrell Malacia - Out
Malacia remains out having missed more than a year with a knee injury. Ten Hag said in mid-October: “They are back, but we can't force their return. We have to be careful. Of course, we want to do it as soon as possible, as we need a left-back.”
Mason Mount - Doubt
Ten Hag said last week: "I think a bit longer [to wait for Mount], that's what we expected. I think he will be back soon." It’s unclear when Mount will return.
Antony - Out
Antony is out with an ankle sprain he suffered in United’s draw with Fenerbahce last week.
Noussair Mazraoui - Doubt
There is no clarity on what Mazraoui’s injury is and how long he will be out at this stage.
Jadon Sancho - Out (Ineligible)
Sancho is not able to play in this game due to being indelible to face his parent club.
Omari Kellyman - Out
Kellyman suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out for another month or two yet.
