Maguire suspended for Saturday's Chelsea match

Wednesday 15 April 2026 16:00

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire will miss Saturday’s Premier League match against Chelsea through suspension.

The centre-back was shown a red card for his challenge on Bournemouth’s Evanilson on 20 March, forcing him to miss Monday’s fixture against Leeds United. 

An independent Regulatory Commission has subsequently charged Maguire for acting in an improper manner and/or using abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards the fourth official.

The defender has admitted the charge. The commission has imposed an additional one-match suspension and a fine.
Harry was shown a red card during last month's match against Bournemouth.

United’s match against Chelsea is scheduled for 20:00 BST on Saturday. 

The Reds are currently third in the table and the squad is fully focused on securing a positive result against the sixth-placed Blues.

Michael Carrick may provide an update on the squad during his pre-match press conference, which fans can watch from 13:30 BST on Friday. 

Part two of the media briefing will be available from 22:30 the same day.
