Exemple Il va manquer un chaise à ton oncle

Je me confuse sur cette exemple: "il va manquer une chaise à ton oncle." I get "there will be a chair missing" but how does "à ton oncle" (which I read as "to your uncle") compute as "your uncle will be missing a chair"?

This question relates to:French lesson "Using manquer (de) to say you/something miss or lack in French"

Which is correct.
