"Manchester United is facing a defensive crisis ahead of their trip to Chelsea, with only one fit senior centre-back in their travelling squad. Head coach Michael Carrick will be without Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martínez, and Matthijs de Ligt due to suspension and injury."
"If Yoro is ruled out, it would leave 19-year-old Ayden Heaven as the only fit central defender available to Carrick against Chelsea. Heaven hasn't started a game since the 2-2 draw with Burnley in January."
"Maguire is unavailable after he was hit with an extra one-game ban after admitting an FA charge of improper conduct as he left the pitch following his red card at Bournemouth in March."
"Martínez is set to serve a three-game suspension after he was sent off for violent conduct in the 2-1 defeat against Leeds United on Monday."
