Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester United

Chelsea injury, suspension list vs. Man United

After Saturday's 2-2 draw with Leicester City, Chelsea now face a two-week break from action ahead of the Premier League meeting with Manchester United.

The top-flight fixtures will be staggered up to and including February 17, with Chelsea and United the last two teams to fulfil their duties.

The break arguably comes at the right time for the Blues, who will be hoping to remain competitive in three competitions during the final three months of the campaign.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash at Stamford Bridge.


Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Status: Out Type of injury: Achilles Possible return date: Unknown

Loftus-Cheek ruptured his Achilles tendon while representing Chelsea in a post-season friendly ahead of the 2019 Europa League final. While the academy graduate is making progress, there is no prospect of a first-team return in the coming weeks.


Christian Pulisic

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Adductor Possible return date: Unknown

Pulisic has been sidelined since the beginning of the year after sustaining an adductor injury. However, the winger has been pencilled in to make a return after the winter break, potentially from the starting lineup.


CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Chelsea have no players who are suspended for this fixture.
