Chelsea v Man Utd: Blues stars set to be passed fit but United have major injury worries

Antonio Rudiger is expected to shake off a groin problem to play for Chelsea in Saturday’s Premier League clash with Manchester United.

Midfielder Ross Barkley is likely to be fit after a knock playing for England, but Ethan Ampadu is out with a knee injury sustained playing for Wales.

The Blues are set to be at full strength as they seek to extend their unbeaten run, their only loss in the Community Shield to Manchester City.

Provisional squad: Kepa, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Fabregas, Jorginho, Kante, Barkley, Hazard, Pedro, Moses, Kovacic, Giroud, Zappacosta, Willian, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Morata, Luiz, Emerson Palmieri, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Bulka.

Manchester United are set to welcome midfielder Ander Herrera back to the squad but have several other doubts.

Diogo Dalot, Marouane Fellaini, Nemanja Matic, Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw all picked up problems on international duty, while boss Jose Mourinho revealed on Friday that some players had not yet made it back to the club.

Jesse Lingard and Marcos Rojo are expected to remain sidelined.

Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Grant, Valencia, Dalot, Young, Darmian, Shaw, Smalling, Jones, Bailly, Lindelof, Pogba, Fellaini, Herrera, Mata, Matic, Pereira, Fred, McTominay, Lukaku, Martial, Sanchez, Rashford.
