Manchester United's injury list has been something of a broken record this year, with Phil Jones, Marcus Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic all featuring more than once.

Jones and Rojo are also both questionable with knocks in the run up to Sunday's game at Old Trafford, and questions have been raised about whether United's coaching methods are the reason behind these recurring injuries.

Going into a pivotal game with Chelsea on Sunday, and as the race for automatic Champions League group stage qualification hots up, manager Jose Mourinho will be hoping that he will be able to keep these players out of the injury room, according to PremierInjuries...

Marouane Fellaini

When was he injured?: Fellaini was on the Wembley pitch during January 31st's 2-0 defeat for all of seven minutes before he was subbed off for the same knee injury that had kept him out for a month over the new year.

Potential injury return date: 31/03/2018

Will he be missed?: Ander Herrera was carted off with a muscle injury last night, and with Michael Carrick mulling retirement at the end of the season, Marouane Fellaini will need to be a key part of Mourinho's plans going forward.

What the manager said: "We are going to lose him for a few weeks. Two, three four or five, I cannot say at the moment." (February 2nd)

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

When was he injured?: After a 28 goal season last year, Ibrahimovic has only played seven times this season after suffering a serious cruciate ligament injury against Anderlect on April 20th.

Potential injury return date: 25/02/2018

Will he be missed?: The fact that Anthony Martial, a midfielder, is the second highest scoring United player just goes to show how much United have been lacking this season in the goal scoring department from their forwards.

Lukaku has scored 12 goals, but he has also taken more shots to get there than anyone else other than Mohamed Salah, Harry Kane, and Sergio Aguero - who have each scored over 20 goals this campaign.

Rashford is still young and Mourinho will need his experienced centre-forward  as United try to keep a hold of second spot.

What the manager said: "The date for him to be back training with the team is around the end of January."(January 12th)

Marcos Rojo

When was he injured?: Rojo has picked up a knock in training in the past week.

Potential injury return date: None given.

Will he be missed?: Rojo has been in and out of the starting XI this season with Antonio Valencia United's favoured right-back, but in the midst of an injury crisis Mourinho needs all the help he can get.

What the manager said: "[Marcos] Rojo, [Phil] Jones, [Marouane] Fellaini, Zlatan [Ibrahimovic], I don’t think they have any chance (to play against Sevilla).” (February 2oth)
