Manchester United injury update: Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw latest news and return dates

Sesko sidelined until at least January with shin injury; Fernandes expected back for Chelsea; Rashford (hip) pushing for involvement.

Manchester United face Chelsea on Saturday with several injury concerns affecting manager Michael Carrick's squad selection.

Benjamin Sesko will miss at least two months with a recurring shin injury that ended his 2025/26 campaign early. "It's going to be a significant amount of time," Carrick confirmed, leaving United short of attacking options.

Bruno Fernandes is expected to return after being left out of the Bournemouth defeat following a public falling out with Carrick. The pair held talks to clear the air this week, though Fernandes was receiving treatment on Monday, suggesting he is still carrying a knock. Marcus Rashford (hip) has been sidelined but returned to gym work and could feature against Chelsea, though no specific return date has been confirmed.
