Benjamin Sesko sidelined until January with shin injury

Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko is projected to be out until at least January due to a shin injury. The 23-year-old has not played since September 16, when he was substituted against Brighton in the Carabao Cup. Although the injury is not shin splints, it required multiple tests and has caused ongoing issues, including missed pre-season and critical matches last season. Sesko has scored two goals this season and his absence leaves United without a key attacking option as they struggle in the league, currently sitting in 16th place. His injury could prompt United to explore the January transfer market to address their forward needs.
