Centre-back Ayden Heaven has been included in Manchester United’s travelling squad for their Premier League<\/a> clash with Chelsea<\/a> at Stamford Bridge on Friday night.<\/p>\n

United’s players arrived at Stockport station on Thursday afternoon ahead of travelling south by rail and Heaven<\/a> was among the group of players pictured disembarking the team coach.<\/p>\n

The youngster, who joined United from Arsenal at the beginning of February, has been absent from the last seven matchday squads after suffering a setback in his recovery from a previous injury he sustained against Leicester City prior to the March international break.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old, who has made four appearances for United<\/a> since his mid-season arrival, was last included in the matchday squad when he was named on the bench for the Reds’ 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United at St James’ Park on April 13.<\/p>\n

Heaven was absent from the open training session United hosted at Carrington on Wednesday as part of the media obligation ahead of next week’s Europa League<\/a> final against Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao, meaning the prospect of him being included in the squad at Stamford Bridge is an unexpected boost.<\/p>\n

The defender was spotted conducting some individual work at Carrington prior to United’s Europa League semi-final second leg victory over Athletic Bilbao at Old Trafford<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n

United are experiencing something of an injury crisis at centre-back ahead of the clash with Spurs next week, with both Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro in a race against time to be fit for the showpiece. Head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed on Wednesday that neither of them will be involved against Chelsea<\/a> and they were not spotted among the arrivals at Stockport station.<\/p>\n

However, Toby Collyer was spotted among the group, meaning he looks set to be included in Amorim’s plans against the Londoners. He has been sidelined for six weeks with a leg injury, last being included in the matchday squad against Nottingham Forest on April 1.<\/p>\n
