Mount, Eriksen, Casemiro, Malacia - Manchester United injury news and return dates

Manchester United were without seven injured players for their Premier League defeat vs Newcastle and Erik ten Hag will have everything crossed for a selection boost before the Chelsea game.

A winner from Anthony Gordon settled the scores for Newcastle on Saturday night. England regular Mason Mount, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen were among those missing at St. James' Park.

Mount (calf) has the best chance of being available on Wednesday night when United - now seventh in the table - welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford in their next Premier League fixture. Tyrell Malacia (knee) is also on the mend, but that match will come too soon for him as we take a closer look at United's ongoing injury woes;
