De Ligt Poised to Return for Wolves as Sesko and Maguire Stay Sidelined

Ruben Amorim forecasts a near-term boost in defence despite longer timelines for other key injuries.

Overview

  • Amorim and club communications say Matthijs de Ligt’s knock is minor and he is expected to be available for Monday’s trip to Wolves.
  • Benjamin Sesko remains out with a knee problem and, per Amorim, will need a little more time, with a return projected around mid-December.
  • Harry Maguire’s hamstring absence is on a similar multi-week schedule to Sesko’s, according to the manager.
  • Manchester United added that Diogo Dalot is also hopeful to make the Wolves match after signaling for a change against West Ham.
  • De Ligt missed the 1-1 draw with West Ham, where Ayden Heaven deputised and was withdrawn early after a booking, underscoring United’s depth strain during a busy December.
