Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko will be sidelined for about a month after sustaining a knee injury during their 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur just before the November international break. Scans have thankfully confirmed that the injury is not serious and that Sesko avoided any major damage, such as an ACL tear, which would have required a much longer recovery period. However, the exact duration of his absence will depend on ongoing assessments, with expectations that he will miss games through late November and possibly into December.
Sesko, 23, had to leave the field in the 88th minute after a challenge from Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven, and concerns arose immediately about his health. Despite the setback, Manchester United’s coaching staff, including head coach Ruben Amorim, remain cautiously optimistic about the striker’s return and have highlighted the importance of his recovery to the team’s forward momentum.
In the meantime, Sesko is expected to miss several crucial Premier League matches, including fixtures against Everton, Crystal Palace, West Ham, and Wolves. The earliest return for the promising Slovenian forward could be in early 2026, with the club hopeful he will regain full fitness by then to contribute meaningfully to their campaign. Meanwhile, efforts to manage his rehab are underway to ensure a smooth and successful comeback
