Struggles Continue for Sesko Following Injury in Draw Against Tottenham

Benjamin Šeško Suffers Knee Injury in Manchester United’s Draw with Tottenham

Ruben Amorim brought Benjamin Šeško on in the 58th minute during Manchester United’s 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. Unfortunately, the striker had to be substituted later after a heavy challenge from Micky van de Ven. Fans were left worried about his condition.

Missed Chances and Confidence Issues

Šeško’s short time on the pitch included a few missed chances, adding to the growing pressure he faces. The former RB Leipzig forward has had a difficult start to life in England. He has scored only two goals in twelve matches across all competitions, and that inconsistency has affected United’s attacking rhythm.

Expert Reactions from Shearer and Walcott

Speaking on BBC Match of the Day, Alan Shearer highlighted Šeško’s struggles.

“He struggled again,” Shearer said. “With just two goals in twelve appearances, he had two great chances today but didn’t finish them. He needs to act faster and be more decisive. In the Premier League, you don’t get time to set up your shot.”

Former Arsenal star Theo Walcott compared Šeško’s early difficulties to those of Thierry Henry.

“Forwards must be their own harshest critics,” Walcott explained. “Right now, Šeško isn’t influencing games, but it’s important to remember that even great players need time. Henry wasn’t instantly world-class either. Giroud also needed several games before finding his rhythm.”

Amorim’s Concern and Injury Update

After the match, manager Ruben Amorim expressed concern.

“I’m not sure how serious it is, as it’s a knee issue,” he said. “We need Ben. He’s important for the team, and we’ll check everything carefully.”

On Sunday, Sportklub reported that the injury might not be serious, meaning Šeško could avoid a long absence. A medical scan this week will confirm the full extent of the problem.

Looking Ahead

Amorim hopes Šeško will recover during the international break and be available for United’s next Premier League game against Everton on November 24.
