Early team news for our trip to Chelsea

The domestic campaign will resume with a mouthwatering encounter in west London, where the Reds will take on Maurizio Sarri’s unbeaten Blues at 12:30 BST.

Eleven United players were initially called up for international duty and there were plenty of positives during the break, including goals for Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford and Eric Bailly, plus an assist for Alexis Sanchez.

Unfortunately, three Reds were forced to officially withdraw due to injuries.

That group included Luke Shaw, who was voted our Player of the Month in both August and September by fans. Former Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic also pulled out of Serbia's squad for their matches against Montenegro and Romania.
