Jose Mourinho drop top key players ahead of Chelsea see details.

Friday 23 February 2018



Manchester United will be missing five key players from their squad to face Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend, including four of the individuals who featured in last season's 2-0 win at Old Trafford.


Paul Pogba could return to the starting line up after being brought off the bench to take on Sevilla in the Champions League in mid-week but he will be without two of his regular partners from last year.


In his pre-match press conference, Jose Mourinho confirmed that Ander Herrera had joined the list of absentees alongside Marouane Fellaini. Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones and Zlatan Ibrahimovic had already been ruled out due to existing fitness issues.
Of the five who will be missing for the visit of Chelsea, Jones is the only one who did not feature in United's home victory over the Blues in April 2017.
Ander is out," said Mourinho. "I don't know the final diagnosis but I know he'll be out for a few weeks. I don't know how many is a few - two, three, four, five, six weeks - I don't know, but a few weeks, for sure. Coming back from injury - nobody else."

Herrera was key to United's 2-0 win at Old Trafford last season as the Spaniard man-marked Eden Hazard out of the game, who struggled to lose the midfielder without the supporting runs of Marcos Alonso down the left.


The wing-back has struggled stay fit and healthy enough to play for Antonio Conte in recent weeks but played an important role in the 1-1 draw with Barcelona on Tuesday night.
