Prior to Chelsea’s trip to Manchester United tonight, two new players were added to the injury list. Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku are expected to stay out of the lineup.
In addition, Lesley Ugochukwu and Noni Madueke have both been ruled out of the Premier League match at Old Trafford by Mauricio Pochettino.
Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, Trevoh Chalobah, and Malo Gusto are the injured players joined by Madueke and Ugochukwu.
Conor Gallagher was sent off for two yellow cards during Sunday’s 3-2 victory over Brighton, and he is now suspended.
Midfielders Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo will start, but Gallagher needs to be replaced. Cole Palmer is probably going to step up in his place.
After receiving a red card at Newcastle, Reece James comes back to lead the team. Levi Colwill, Thiago Silva, and Axel Disasi could round out the defence.
Nicolas Jackson, the attacking player, will be followed by Raheem Sterling, Palmer, and Mykhailo Mudryk.
After receiving five yellow cards, Marc Cucurella was suspended for one game; however, he may only start on the bench.
Predicted starting lineup for Chelsea: Fernandez, Caicedo; Sterling, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson; James, Disasi, Silva, Colwill; Sanchez
Gallagher is suspended
Injury reports: Ugochukwu, Gusto, Chalobah, Chukwuemeka, and Chilwell
Nkunku and Lavia are dubious
