What is the problem?After just five league matches, Chelsea and United are facing mounting injury concerns that threaten to undermine their campaigns before they have even found their rhythm. A series of knocks, strains and impacts have led to prolonged spells on the treatment table for a number of first-team regulars.
Assessing the current injury lists of all Premier League clubs, it is clear that Chelsea and United have been hit the hardest thus far. While most teams have a couple of unavailable players, the Blues and Red Devils are dealing with a mounting list of absentees across multiple positions.
This perfect storm of poor early season form and debilitating injuries has created an ominous outlook for both Chelsea and United. Until they can get their best XIs back on the field, it appears their struggles may continue. Both will be hoping for good news from the treatment room to turn around their nascent campaigns.
