Manchester United are without Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Leny Yoro for his or her Premier League clash against Chelsea tonight.<\/p>\n

Michael Carrick has been handed a full-blown crisis on the back this week and is without for of his five centre-halves in west London.<\/p>\n

Maguire missed last Monday\u2019s defeat at home to Leeds because of this of the red card he received against Bournemouth in March for knocking down Evanilson within the box.<\/p>\n

The England international was handed an extra one-game ban this week after being charged with improper conduct by the FA for remarks made to fourth official Matt Donohue as he left the pitch.<\/p>\n

Martinez can also be suspended tonight. The Argentina international saw red against Leeds for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin\u2019s hair, deemed violent conduct which earned him a three-match ban.<\/p>\n

Along with tonight\u2019s game, he may even miss crucial home games against Brentford and Liverpool.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s woes were compounded on Friday when it emerged Leny Yoro didn’t travel with the squad all the way down to the capital.<\/p>\n

Speaking before kick-off against Chelsea, Carrick said of Yoro\u2019s injury: \u2018Hopefully it\u2019s only small but he\u2019s obviously not ready for tonight.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s a part of football. We\u2019ve got a fairly good squad, when it comes to injuries really. There\u2019s Leny, there\u2019s Matthijs [De Ligt], who\u2019s out for a bit longer, and there\u2019s Patrick [Dorgu] who’s out.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s the 2 suspensions so swiftly there\u2019s less options at centre-back. But we are able to adapt and we are able to take advantage of it. It\u2019s a very important game tonight so we\u2019ll be ready for that.\u2019<\/p>\n

It leaves Ayden Heaven as United\u2019s only fit centre-half tonight.<\/p>\n

Matthijs de Ligt stays absent with a back injury that has kept him on the sidelines for over five months.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman last played for the club against Crystal Palace at the tip of November with no clear timeline on when he can be back in contention.<\/p>\n

Carrick blasted the choice to send off Martinez and Monday night and was not impressed with news of Maguire\u2019s additional ban when he spoke to the media on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u2018Massively dissatisfied, after all,\u2019 Carrick said.<\/p>\n

\u2018I believe quite a number of reasons to be dissatisfied in an enormous way over those varieties of situations over the past three weeks.<\/p>\n

\u2018But, obviously, now we\u2019ve got to maneuver on, the selections have been made, it\u2019s something that we\u2019re really dissatisfied with in some ways, but that\u2019s it now. We\u2019ve got to maneuver on and we’ll do.\u2019<\/p>\n

United sit in third place ahead of kick-off, seven clear of Chelsea in sixth.<\/p>\n
