The Story in 60 Seconds

Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko is expected to remain sidelined until at least January due to an ongoing shin injury. According to a report by Laurie Whitwell of The Athletic, the 23-year-old forward requires extended recovery time and further rest to achieve full fitness and regain match sharpness before returning to action for Michael Carrick's side.

Sesko has been sidelined since mid-September with a recurrence of the injury sustained against Liverpool last season after a collision with Ibrahima Konate. Although the issue is not considered chronic, United's medical staff and specialists are prioritizing caution to avoid setbacks, leaving the club short on attacking options as Joshua Zirkzee continues to struggle.
