The Manchester United first-team were forced to make alternative travel plans for Saturday's trip to Newcastle United after their flight was cancelled earlier in the day. The Red Devils return to Premier League action with a tough fixture up at St James' Park, and a win would see them move above Tottenham Hotspur into fifth place ahead of Spurs' meeting with Manchester City on Sunday.

After only arriving back from Turkey late on Wednesday after their Champions League trip to Galatasaray, Erik ten Hag's squad had their Saturday morning flight to the north-east of England cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. Instead, United's travelling cohort will head up to Newcastle via coach - a journey which is expected to last around three hours. The UK is currently gripped by frosty conditions and snowy weather, with temperatures set to plummet down to -1c at St James' Park by the time Saturday's ma...

Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed Christopher Nkunku will not feature in Chelsea's meeting with Newcastle United on Saturday as he urged fans to temper their immediate expectations of the Frenchman. Nkunku was back training on grass during the international break as he stepped up his return from a knee injury which forced him to undergo surgery during pre-season. Chelsea fans have started to get excited about Nkunku's imminent debut for the club but Pochettino had the unfortunate duty of confirming the wait for the France international will go on a little longer. "Still out," Pochettino said when asked for an update on Nkunku. "Last week, in few training sessions, still he's not fully recovered to be part of the tactical sessions. Now is about recovery." As 90min revealed earlier this month, Chelsea are aiming for Nkunku to start the Carabao Cup clash with Newcastle on 20 December, with the 26-year-old expected to feature off the bench in the weeks pri...
