Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has revealed that the Blues will be without a key player for their game against Manchester United this weekend.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has delivered some team news ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester United.

The Blues are looking to bounce back after the mid-week defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup.

Speaking in the pre-game presser, Maresca revealed that Jadon Sancho will be unavailable to face his former club.

"We are looking good," Maresca said in his pre-match press conference on Friday.

"The players, they are all available. Except for Jadon, he has been ill in the last few days, but he cannot play anyway."

Sancho's absence isn't a major blow, considering he's ineligible to face his parent club Manchester United anyway.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils have officially announced the signing of Ruben Amorim as new head coach.

Amorim will not be available for this weekend's clash but he is expected to be in charge for the game against Ipswich on November 24.
