João Pedro will miss Chelsea's clash with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge due to injury, offering Michael Carrick's side a timely boost.

Chelsea forward João Pedro will miss Saturday's Premier League clash against Manchester United due to a thigh injury. Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso confirmed that the Brazilian attacker will be sidelined for several weeks, ruling him out of both their Carabao Cup tie against Liverpool and the upcoming weekend fixture against Michael Carrick's side.
Pedro has been in prolific form this season, scoring five goals and registering three assists in six Premier League appearances. His absence comes as a welcome boost for Manchester United, who travel to Stamford Bridge looking to halt an eight-game winless streak in all competitions.
