Lionesses star Ella Toone is "probably" going to miss Manchester United's League Cup final clash with Chelsea next month, Red Devils boss Marc Skinner has admitted. The England international has not played since December because of a hip issue and it is unlikely that she is going to recover in time for the showpiece event, meaning she is all-but-ruled out of the Lionesses first camp of 2026, too.

A Devastating Absence for the Final Showdown

The Reds face a brutal reality check as Manchester United's midfield maestro, Ella Toone, is confirmed to miss the crucial League Cup final against rivals Chelsea. This is a devastating blow, not just for United's silverware ambitions, but also for England's upcoming Women's World Cup qualifiers, highlighting a challenging period for both club and country.

Key Points:

Ella Toone ruled out of Manchester United's League Cup final vs. Chelsea.
Set to miss crucial England Women's World Cup qualifiers.
Likely return targeted for the Manchester derby on March 29.
Man Utd's squad depth tested with multiple key player absences.
