The 30-year-old has been an important player for Man United this season, making 29 appearances in all competitions, including 20 outings in the Premier League.
Varane spent a period earlier this season out of the team, but he has been a regular in recent months, with the Red Devils struggling with injuries in the middle of their defence.
Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez both featured off the bench at the Brentford Community Stadium, and the pair could be required to start against Chelsea in the team's next league match on April 4.
Varane will need to be assessed ahead of the contest at Stamford Bridge, but no risks will be taken with the experienced defender's fitness at this stage of the campaign.
