BREAKING: Big Injury Blow For Chelsea Ahead Of Trip To Old Trafford

Chelsea continue to look good value for the Premier League title but it appears they will have to contend with a big absence from their side for the trip to Old Trafford to play Jose Mourinho's Manchester United today.

That's because according to Ben Dinnery, first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has not travelled with the squad and is therefore not available for selection.

Here is how Twitter reacted:

Asmir Begovic is certainly a reliable deputy but it's still a huge blow for Chelsea ahead of today's crucial clash.

Could we have a title race on our hands again?
