Every Premier League team suffers from injuries, but in the first few weeks of the 2023–24 season, Chelsea and Manchester United are already experiencing something of a problem with player injuries.
Both the Blues and the Red Devils have had unimpressive openings to their league seasons, and the injuries that have mounted after only two league games will not help their case.
Only recently promoted Sheffield United can equal the Blues’ ten absences in terms of injuries, and Luke Shaw is the newest player to enter the overflowing Old Trafford medical tent.
On the other hand, Liverpool and Manchester City have nearly fit squads to pick from, while West Ham and Wolves have no injury concerns.
All Premier League players who are presently injured have been listed, along with an estimated return date.
