Ralf Ragnick gives an injury update ahead of Chelsea clash

Man United won’t have six first-team players available for Chelsea clash.

Captain Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Fred, Paul Pogba, Jadon Sancho and Aaron Wan-Bissaka won’t be available for the midweek clash against Chelsea.

Maguire is currently out with a knee injury but is expected to be back in the next few days.

“Fred is unfortunately not yet available,” Rangnick said. “He tried to train yesterday but after training I had a long conversation with him and he just told me that he doesn’t feel fully fit, he’s not at 100%, and with a player like Fred who’s always committed to give his very best, I don’t think it makes sense, with the muscular injury that he had, to play him too early, because that would mean we take the risk of a re-injury and this is something that I don’t want to do. So he won’t be available unfortunately tomorrow.

“And apart from that we have Harry Maguire who is not available. He has some issues with his knee, not a big thing – some niggle in his knee. He hasn’t been training, neither yesterday or today.

“Paul obviously, Fred, Edinson, Luke Shaw and Jadon – Jadon is ill, he has tonsillitis since yesterday, couldn’t train today and will also be not available tomorrow.”
