Chelsea are left sweating on the fitness of Ben Chilwell and N'Golo Kante ahead of clash with Manchester United after the pair limped off with knee injuries in Champions League rout of Juventus

Ben Chilwell and N'Golo Kante handed Chelsea a scare on Tuesday night as both picked up knee injuries, making them a doubt to face Manchester United this weekend.

Chelsea produced a dazzling display to sweep Italian giants Juventus aside in a 4-0 drubbing at Stamford Bridge.

Yet, the evening was soured with injuries to two key players and boss Thomas Tuchel is now made to play the waiting game to see if they will be fit enough to feature against a rejuvenated Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.

Midfielder Kante was the first to pick up an issue as he had to withdraw late in the first half, to be replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
