Chelsea will host Manchester United on the 5th of November for the first league meeting between both sides this season, and there are fears that United will have to do it without their record signing Paul Pogba.

Pogba injured his hamstring in their Champions League clash against FC Basel two weeks ago in the Champions League and has been out of action ever since.

United initially struggled to put a timescale on a return date to action for Pogba and it now appears the France ace won’t be back before the November international break.

Pogba might not return for the Chelsea clash but could return for United’s following match at home to Newcastle on November 18.

The last time United visited Stamford Bridge, they went back home with a 4-0 thrashing and Jose Mourinho will definitely be wary of that.
