4 ways Man Utd could line-up defence vs Chelsea with Harry Maguire ban confirmedHarry Maguire's FA charge means that he'll banned for Manchester United's trip to Chelsea, joining the suspended Lisandro Martinez and injured Matthijs de Ligt on the sidelinesCommentsSportNathan Ridley Senior Sports Reporter15:56, 16 Apr 2026View 4 ImagesHarry Maguire won't play against Chelsea(Image: Catherine Ivill - AMA/Getty Images)Manchester United will be without Harry Maguire against Chelsea, giving Michael Carrick an unwanted headache in defence. United star Maguire was sent off during last month's 2-2 draw away to Bournemouth and initially received a one-game ban.‌But 27 days later, the FA confirmed that the England international will be suspended for a further match as a result of his foul-mouth outburst towards an official, therefore ruling him out of Saturday's visit to Stamford Bridge. And Maguire isn't Carrick's only issue.‌Lisandro Martinez, who replaced Maguire for Monday's abject 2-1 loss at home to Leeds, was shown a red card for violent conduct will miss the next three games unless United are successful in their appeal. Meanwhile, Matthijs de Ligt remains injured with a back problem and hasn't played since November.‌That leaves Carrick with just two recognised centre-backs available: 20-year-old Leny Yoro and 19-year-old Ayden Heaven.
