Benjamin Sesko is expected to miss action until at least January after sustaining a shin injury, the latest setback for Manchester United's attacking corps.
The striker will be unavailable for selection for the remainder of the calendar year, depriving the manager of another forward option as the team heads into the busiest part of the season. The club has not released detailed information on the nature of the injury or a specific timetable for his return beyond the initial estimate.
Sesko's absence could influence United's selection and squad management in the weeks ahead, particularly as they navigate domestic and European commitments. The club is likely to rely on other members of the forward line and squad rotation to cope with the fixture load while monitoring Sesko's recovery.
Further updates on the striker's condition and rehabilitation programme are expected as medical staff assess his progress. Until then, the team will plan for matches without his availability and reassess options during the January period if his setback persists.
