Latest Man United injury news as three miss Chelsea amid Marcus Rashford update

Chelsea return to action when they play Manchester United in the Premier League on Thursday.

The Blues will head to Old Trafford knowing that if they avoid defeat, they will climb up to 11th place. Eleventh is as high as they can finish in the Premier League this season, while United are looking to confirm their entry into the Champions League next season.

United are three points ahead of Liverpool with a game-in-hand on Jurgen Klopp's men but with a vastly inferior goal difference. Ahead of the visit of Chelsea, Red Devils boss Erik Ten Hag has given an update on the fitness of his players.

Forward Marcus Rashford is set to return to the squad after missing the last two games, the first because of illness and the 2-0 defeat of Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out through injury. He has returned to training and looks set to feature against Chelsea.

"It looks like (he will be available), but yesterday he returns in training and he looks quite fit but we have to see today what the outcome is from the training - how did he recover and then we will make our choices," Ten Hag said. "If you are not available, you can't score.

"When he was available we played better, the team is winning games, he's also scoring goals but he has to be available." Rashford's return to fitness, as well as Scott McTominay's recovery from injury, has given Ten Hag a boost.

United's only other injuries are the long-term absences of Lisandro Martinez, Marcel Sabitzer and Donny van de Beek who are out for the rest of the season. "It's clear, we want to win every game," Ten Hag added.

"That is what we do all season so tomorrow we want to do the same, we want to win the game, play dominant football and get the job done..."
