Overview
- Benjamin Sesko was withdrawn from Slovenia and confirmed injured on Saturday and will miss Manchester United’s home match against Tottenham.
- Club medical staff are completing MRI/CT imaging at Carrington to distinguish between soft‑tissue inflammation and a stress fracture.
- Manchester United have not set a return date and have explicitly kept surgery as a possible option if scans show structural damage.
- The absence forces changes to Carrick’s selection with Patrick Dorgu likely to be sidelined for several weeks and Noussair Mazraoui doubtful for the same Tottenham game.
- New signing Carlos Baleba is progressing in training and could make his first-team debut, while the club balances short-term needs against protecting Sesko’s long-term fitness after his earlier three-month layoff.
