    December 2025

    Benjamin Sesko’s comeback from a knee injury has been pushed back after a bout of food poisoning, extending his absence just as Manchester United prepare to lose Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo to AFCON and leaving Amorim short of forwards for a crucial winter stretch. Signed for £74m from RB Leipzig, Sesko has been sidelined since a Tottenham clash on November 8.

The summer signing now joins fellow defenders William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes on the sidelines, stripping depth from an already stretched back line. Arteta admitted scans showed a worse problem than first expected and ruled the defender out for “weeks”. He has responded by shifting Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapie into central roles and even using Christian Norgaard at centre back as Arsenal try to cope while protecting a narrow lead in the title race.

    December 2025

    Chelsea expect Liam Delap to return in three to four weeks after scans confirmed no fracture in the shoulder he damaged against Bournemouth, limiting his latest setback after a two month hamstring layoff and offering hope he can rejoin the attack early in the New Year. Delap had impressed with his physical presence before landing heavily and going off inside half an hour, prompting fears of a long absence, but Maresca now plans to cover upcoming games with Joao Pedro, Pedro Neto and Tyrique George up front while Delap rebuilds fitness once cleared.

Representative Elvis Basanovic praised coach Ruben Amorim’s charisma and long term project, stressing that Sesko needs time on the pitch with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to build attacking automatisms and believes patience will turn United into genuine Premier League title contenders.

    Liverpool lose Gakpo for weeks as Chiesa illness deepens Inter selection headache

    Cody Gakpo
    December 2025

    Arne Slot has confirmed that Cody Gakpo will miss several weeks and Federico Chiesa will sit out Liverpool’s Champions League trip to Inter Milan through illness, compounding the decision to leave Mohamed Salah at home amid escalating tension around the forward’s future. Slot said Gakpo’s problem was sustained against Leeds and rules out one of his productive league attackers, while Chiesa’s poorly timed sickness further reduces width as Liverpool travel without Salah, whose public criticism of the club has overshadowed Alisson’s focus on Inter’s impressive form.
