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

Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester United on Thursday.

Chelsea will aim to inch closer to securing a third-placed finish in the Premier League when they make the journey to Old Trafford to meet Manchester United on Thursday night.

Thomas Tuchel's side were minutes away from dropping points in a London derby with 10-man West Ham United before substitute Christian Pulisic popped up with the winner in the 90th minute.

The Blues have now opened up a five-point gap to fourth-placed Arsenal - who have played a game more - and will aim to move further clear of their capital counterparts in midweek.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Red Devils.

Callum Hudson-Odoi's Achilles problem is proving difficult for the versatile Englishman to overcome, and he is yet to rejoin the team for training, so it is unclear when he may be able to return.
