Massive blow for Amorim: United star sidelined for a month

Even though the preliminary assessments hinted at a minor setback, it turned out that Benjamin Sesko's problem is more serious, as he's set to miss a month due to the knee injury he sustained ten days ago against Tottenham Hotspur.

Man United striker came off the bench, replacing Noussair Mazraoui in the 58th minute, but was forced to leave the pitch before the end of the match.

Consequently, Sesko missed his national team's November actions, but that's apparently not the end of his time off, as he's about to sit out the Red Devils' Premier League clashes against Everton, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Wolverhampton, Bournemouth, and possibly Aston Villa - of course, if everything goes according to plan.

However, the biggest trouble for Ruben Amorim will be a probable overlap of the final week of Sesko's absence and his fellow forwards, Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo's departure for the African Cup of Nations, meaning that Amorim's last attacking options could remain limited to Matheus Cunha and the indisposed Joshua Zirkzee.

You can be brilliant at Barcelona, Amorim doesn't care

Hence, although Sesko netted just twice in 12 games for the club, he'll be dearly missed, considering all the circumstances.

Except for Diallo and Mbeumo, who'll represent the Ivory Coast and Cameroon, United will also temporarily lose Mazraoui, who'll be a member of the Morocco squad, which will try to win the AFCON title after 49 years.
