Sesko Ruled Out For Weeks As United Sweat On Striker Depth Before AFCON

Benjamin Sesko (Manchester United)
November 2025

Manchester United have confirmed Benjamin Sesko faces several weeks out with a knee injury suffered in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham, leaving Ruben Amorim short of centre-forward options and raising doubts over whether the £74m striker will regain rhythm before Bryan Mbeumo departs for AFCON. Scans ruled out major ligament damage but Sesko’s setback, after only two goals in 12 games, leaves Joshua Zirkzee as the lone natural nine while United lean on academy options; Amorim also said Harry Maguire is out and Kobbie Mainoo doubtful, compounding selection problems.

Sweden boss Graham Potter says Dejan Kulusevski is progressing into the next phase of recovery after right patella surgery, with cautious optimism he could be back around Christmas or New Year as Sweden eye March’s World Cup play-off against Ukraine. Kulusevski has spent five months rehabbing, with Spurs footage showing him back on grass at a warm-weather camp, but Thomas Frank and Tottenham’s medical staff refuse to rush him, insisting he follows a controlled programme rather than chasing fixed dates to avoid any setback.

Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal)

Viktor Gyokeres has been told he looks too heavy after a delayed 63.5 million pound move from Sporting CP, with questions over whether he arrived at Arsenal in ideal condition as early outings, including a flat debut in Hong Kong versus Tottenham, highlighted rhythm and sharpness issues. After finally settling and scoring in a 2-0 win at Burnley, the striker signalled discomfort and was withdrawn at half time, prompting Arteta to admit concern over an unusual muscular problem for such an explosive player while medical staff carry out tests to understand the extent of the setback.

November 2025

Danny Welbeck (Brighton) has been linked with a surprise return to Manchester United, with observers suggesting the in-form 34-year-old could mentor Benjamin Sesko (Manchester United) and bolster a misfiring attack as the young Slovenian battles poor form and a worrying new knee problem. Revitalised under Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton), Welbeck has hit six league goals in 11 games, prompting rumours of a comeback to Old Trafford. Sesko’s latest setback came after a lively cameo against Tottenham, cut short by a knee issue that left Ruben Amorim (Manchester United) concerned and increased pressure to sign a striker.

United relieved as initial checks ease fears on Benjamin Šeško knee

Benjamin Šeško (Manchester United)
November 2025

Šeško hobbled off late at Spurs, raising knee concerns. Early assessments are encouraging, with no expectation of a long layoff pending full evaluation. He’s struggled to settle—two goals in 12—making availability important amid a thin United forward rotation. Cameos show timing issues on long balls and hesitation in finish windows. Amorim’s response is to protect confidence while demanding sharper movements between centre-backs. A short absence preserves training continuity needed to sync patterns with Bruno Fernandes and wide runners.

The episode coincided with representation changes and contract talks, but Spurs emphasised safeguarding and confidentiality pending proceedings.
