What to know

  • Sesko missed Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Fulham on September 20 after aggravating a shin injury sustained in the Carabao Cup loss to Brighton.
  • The injury is a recurrence of a problem that affected his debut season and pre-season preparation; Carrick had warned earlier that premature return could trigger re-injury.
  • Manchester United is conducting MRI scans and assessing whether Sesko can join Slovenia's international squad during the September break.
  • Sesko has not started a Premier League match this season, appearing only as a substitute before playing in Champions League and Carabao Cup fixtures.

“We just need a little bit longer, longer than usual, because if you start too early, it might appear again.”
