Benjamin Sesko Injury Update: Manchester United face anxious wait over striker’s return
Benjamin Sesko Injury Update leaves Manchester United in a difficult spot as the young striker’s knee problem threatens to disrupt their rhythm during a crucial stretch. The 22-year-old picked up the knock late in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham, forcing United to finish the game with ten men after all substitutions had been used. It was a blow that came just as Ruben Amorim’s side seemed to be building momentum and it couldn’t have come at a worse time for the club’s congested schedule. For fans tracking performances and injury trends, our detailed Premier League Stats can provide valuable insight into how United might adapt in the weeks ahead.
- Benjamin Sesko faces time on the sidelines after a knee injury sustained against Tottenham.
- Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim admits uncertainty over his striker’s recovery timeline.
- Slovenia’s national team requests medical evaluation during the international break.
- United’s packed November and December fixtures could be affected by Sesko’s absence.
In his post-match interview, Amorim sounded cautious, admitting, “We have to check. He had something in his knee, let’s see.” Those words offered little comfort to supporters hoping for clarity. United’s medical team kept Sesko at Carrington through the international break for further assessment, though early signs suggest the issue may not be as severe as feared. Still, with games against Everton, Crystal Palace, and West Ham on the horizon, any absence could alter United’s attacking balance significantly.
Meanwhile, Slovenia manager Matjaz Kek has made it clear he wants Sesko examined by his national medical staff. “We also want the player to be examined by our medical service. Our doctor is an expert in this field,” Kek explained, showing clear concern for his star striker’s wellbeing. It’s understandable, the national team rarely compromises on fitness checks, especially before facing England in what’s seen as one of their biggest matches of the year.
Even if Sesko’s recovery moves quickly, the timing is rough. United’s calendar through December is brutal, featuring back-to-back clashes with Wolves, Bournemouth, Aston Villa, and Newcastle within just over two weeks. A short recovery window could mean Amorim leans on Bryan Mbeumo or Amad, both of whom are expected to leave for AFCON soon after. That’s a balancing act no manager envies.
For now, all eyes remain on Sesko’s rehab and the upcoming scans. Can he recover in time to make a meaningful impact before the festive period kicks in? It’s too early to say, but Amorim will be desperate to see his striker back leading the line soon.
