JADON SANCHO has revived his career since switching from Manchester United to Chelsea last summer – but he could be unavailable for tomorrow’s huge fixture.
The tricky winger was forced out of United by former manager Erik ten Hag following their public spat last season.
And the Blues were able to strike a deal with the Red Devils which saw Sancho complete a loan move on summer transfer deadline day.
Sancho, 24, is yet to register a goal for Chelsea, but he has contributed with three assists in five matches along with being voted Player of the Match on his Blues debut.
But it has been a talking point on whether Sancho will be able to feature for Chelsea against United on Super Sunday due to the loan rules.
SunSport can provide fans with the answers they need.

Can Jadon Sancho play for Chelsea against Man Utd?
Jadon Sancho will NOT be able to play against Manchester United in a huge blow to Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca.
This is due to the Football Association guidelines that loan players cannot face their parent club in the Premier League.
The rule was introduced in 2004 after Portsmouth loanee, Lomana LuaLua scored a late equaliser for Pompey against his parent club Newcastle.
However, the FA’s rules would allow Sancho to play for Chelsea against United should the two English rivals meet each other in any other domestic competition such as the FA Cup.

Sancho has not featured in the last two matches for the Blues but Maresca hopes he will be in contention to face Noah in their Conference League clash on Thursday, November 7.
