Man United injury, suspension news vs. Chelsea: Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt updates

Manchester United are back in action on Friday evening when they square off against Chelsea in the Premier League.

Although the Red Devils have a Europa League final to look forward to, Ruben Amorim is aware that his side's form in England's top flight has been underwhelming.

On the back of losing 2-0 at home to West Ham United last time out, United will be at increasing risk of a 17th-placed finish in the table unless they register maximum points here.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to the capital to face their Champions-League-chasing opponents.
