Chelsea injury update: Moises Caicedo, Joao Pedro, Maxence Lacroix latest news and return dates

Caicedo and Gusto face late fitness tests ahead of Manchester United; Lacroix's hamstring concern requires assessment; Joao Pedro sidelined for weeks with thigh injury.

Chelsea are managing multiple injury concerns ahead of Saturday's visit to Manchester United. Moises Caicedo experienced "little problems" during the Liverpool defeat but is expected to be available, as is Malo Gusto, who was substituted due to cramp. Maxence Lacroix pulled up with a suspected hamstring issue in the first half against Liverpool and requires further assessment to determine the extent of the damage. Manager Xabi Alonso said: "Probably he felt something on the hamstring. And we need a couple of days to check what's going to be the injury." More significantly, Joao Pedro remains sidelined with a thigh injury picked up in training before the Tottenham match, with Alonso indicating he will miss "a few weeks" and is unlikely to return until after the November international break. The Brazilian has already missed games this season due to a knee problem.
