Yoro, Eriksen, Mainoo - Manchester United injury news and return dates ahead of Chelsea fixture

Interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will be targeting a second win in as many matches when Manchester United welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

United made a flying start to the Dutchman's stint as caretaker manager on Wednesday night, beating Leicester City 5-2 in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

The focus for Van Nistelrooy now switches back to the bread and butter of the league and attempting to transform United's fortunes. They head into this weekend's action sat 14th in the table.

United have won just one of their last five league matches and are desperately in need of three points to start climbing the ladder. Chelsea, however, will pose a stern test having won four of their last six league matches.

Ahead of the visit of the Londoners, Van Nistelrooy is poised to pick from the same group of players who were involved against Leicester in midweek. With that said, here is all the very latest on the United injury front.

Injury: Fractured metatarsal

United issued an update on Yoro last month, confirming he had started training outside at Carrington. He has been unavailable since fracturing his metatarsal in the opening game of United's pre-season tour of the United States in July.

United anticipated he would be sidelined for around three months after undergoing surgery at the start of August. He was walking without crutches as soon as early-September and has been working hard in the gym at Carrington since. He will not be rushed and his competitive debut for the club is 'not imminent'.
