Maurizio Sarri has several injuries to first-team players for him to contend with ahead of Chelsea’s potentially season defining clash with Manchester United this afternoon.
Here’s everything you need to know…
N’Golo Kante: As Goal report, Maurizio Sarri revealed in his pre-match press conference that he’s unsure if Kante will be available to feature at Old Trafford. The Frenchman suffered a back injury on Monday night against Burnley. This one could go right down to the wire.

Antonio Rudiger: The same report by Goal delivers better news on the topic of Rudiger. The German appears to have fully recovered from the knee injury he sustained against Liverpool. We desperately need him – his importance at the back cannot be understated.
Hudson-Odoi & Alonso: As noted by Physio Room, both CHO and Alonso are set to miss out of this one. Hudson-Odoi is out for the season with his ruptured achilles, while Alonso is still struggling with a gluteal Injury. Sarri will have to adapt without the pair.
