Chelsea are set to be without six players for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile (both unspecified) are thought to be closing in on a return to fitness, but this weekend’s game will come too soon for the pair, while Levi Colwill (knee), Liam Delap (hamstring), Dario Essugo (thigh) and Mykhaylo Mudryk (suspended) all remain unavailable for selection.

Enzo Maresca will consider making some changes to his starting lineup following Wednesday’s at Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and one of those could see Reece James move from midfield back into his favoured right-back position, meaning Malo Gusto would make way.
