Villarreal vs Manchester United: Chukwueze ruled out of Europa League final

Despite returning to training, the Nigeria international will play no part when the Yellow Submarine take on the Red Devils on Wednesday evening

Samuel Chukwueze has been ruled out of Villarreal’s Europa League final against Manchester United on Wednesday evening.

The 22-year-old was stretchered off in pain during the Yellow Submarine’s semi-final clash with Arsenal in North London as Unai Emery’s men held the Gunners to a goalless draw.

Nonetheless, a 2-1 win from the first-leg helped Unai Emery’s men advance to the final where they will slug it out with the Red Devils for a chance to win the diadem for the very first time in their history.
