Prior to our Premier League match against Manchester United, Chelsea head coach Graham Potter provided an injury update on his team, including the most recent information on Conor Gallagher. He also talked about our opponents' suspension of Cristiano Ronaldo.
As we prepare to meet Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League tomorrow, Potter was speaking to the media at his pre-match press conference. We hope to extend our head coach's unbeaten start with Chelsea and a run of five games without conceding.
No Fresh Injury Issues
Apart from the three longer-term injuries to Reece James, N'Golo Kante, and Wesley Fofana, who will all miss the visit from United, Potter said there are currently no further absences.
Potter stated, "We're still getting everyone back to normal after the game, but we're pretty much back to where we were at Brentford."
Everyone else, including Conor Gallagher, who was removed from Wednesday's 0-0 draw at Brentford due to illness, is available to play against Manchester United after preparing for the match in training.
Conor trained today, so he is recovered; the next 24 hours will reveal how he is doing. Yet other than the extended absences, things are very much the same as they were.
Ronaldo's suspension by United
At Stamford Bridge, our opponents' manager Erik ten Hag has stated that Cristiano Ronaldo will not play due to disciplinary issues after leaving the bench early during their midweek victory over Tottenham Hotspur.'
I can't really comment because I don't really understand the situation, but he has chosen his position. You may occasionally have to do that, in which case the club must provide help. So that's what has happened on the surface.
It's hard for me to remark because I don't know the full background; I don't know what has actually occurred. I don't want to base my decisions on news headlines and such items. Making difficult decisions is a necessary component of the work.
Chelsea vs Man United suspension
No suspensions exist. Chelsea's Kai Havertz is two cautions from a suspension, while Manchester United's Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes are each one caution away from a suspension.
Injury list, Chelsea vs. Man United
Due to a knee injury sustained during our 2-0 Champions League triumph against AC Milan, Reece James is out for a few weeks, while N'Golo Kante will be sidelined for four months after hamstring surgery. The other persistent absentee is Wesley Fofana. Conor Gallagher has resumed training after being absent due to illness at Brentford.
Axel Tuanzebe, Donny van de Beek, and Brandon Williams won't be playing for Manchester United. Although Harry Maguire is anticipated to be back for this game, Anthony Martial and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are both back in training and won't likely play until next week, according to Erik ten Hag. The club has suspended Cristiano Ronaldo due to disciplinary issues.
