Man Utd’s Sesko Out for a Month with Knee Injury

Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko is set to miss around a month due to a knee injury he sustained at Tottenham Hotspur just before the international break.

Sesko, who joined United from RB Leipzig for £74 million in August, was injured during the 2-2 draw on 8 November and was unable to finish the match after coming on as a second-half substitute.

Head coach Ruben Amorim said afterwards that he did not know if it was a serious issue, although club sources have played down fears that the Slovenia forward suffered a major injury.

The 22-year-old was ruled out of Slovenia’s World Cup qualifiers and is now expected to be sidelined for approximately four weeks, though the precise length of his absence is yet to be confirmed.

Amorim is expected to provide an update on Sesko’s condition this week during a news conference ahead of Monday’s Premier League game against Everton at Old Trafford (20:00 GMT).

This absence may slightly overlap with the departure of fellow forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo for the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts in Morocco on 21 December. United, along with other Premier League clubs, are not expected to release players at the earliest possible opportunity. United have a home game against Bournemouth on 15 December.

Since joining United, Sesko has scored two goals in 12 matches.
