There is a question mark over Lenny Yolo’s availability for Manchester United vs. Chelsea after he was nowhere to be seen as the team departed for London. Midfielder Koby Mainu has joined the team.
Mainu was absent from last weekend’s game against Leeds United due to a minor injury sustained in training, making it his first absence since Michael Carrick took over as manager. Speaking at a press conference in Carrington on Friday, Carrick confirmed that Mynou was “working on” his full fitness, but a final decision had yet to be made.
United traveled to London with Mainu on Friday afternoon. Yoro was not seen at Stockport station, but his possible absence will be a major setback for United. United are already without suspended duo Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez.

Fullback Patrick Dorg (hamstring injury) and centre-back Matthijs de Ligt (lower back injury) are also absent.
Carrick has given youngsters Shea Lacey and Tyler Fletcher a place in the traveling squad. Both players were on the bench against Leeds and were rewarded with a trip to the capital.

United will be desperate to bounce back against Chelsea after losing 2-1 to Leeds earlier in the week. The Yorkshire side held a two-goal advantage by half-time, but Martínez was sent off in the 59th minute, effectively ending any hopes of a United fightback.
Martinez was caught pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hair and was sent off for violent behavior. The defender was handed a three-match ban and will miss games against Chelsea, Liverpool and Brentford.
Maguire was given a further one-match suspension and banned from the trip to Stamford Bridge. The FA upheld charges against the player, alleging that he had behaved inappropriately towards the fourth official.
