Leny Yoro set to miss Chelsea clash as he suffers injury

Manchester United defender Leny Yoro is reportedly in line to miss Saturday’s meeting with Chelsea after sustaining an injury.

Yoro sidelined

Heading into the Chelsea game, Michael Carrick is dealing with a defensive crisis. United are looking to get back to winning ways after suffering a chastening 2-1 loss to Leeds earlier in the week.

But Carrick will have to do it without the services of Harry Maguire or Lisandro Martinez. Maguire, who missed the meeting with Leeds due to the red card he picked up against Bournemouth, saw his ban extended by an additional game by the FA.

Martinez was also given his marching orders vs. Leeds for ‘violent conduct’ after he was judged to have pulled Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hair while the pair were contesting an aerial duel.

With Maguire and Martinez unavailable, it appeared like Carrick had no choice but to deploy a centre-back pairing of Yoro and Ayden Heaven. However, according to Samuel Luckhurst of The Sun, Yoro has sustained an injury, ruling him out of the Chelsea game.
