Manchester United are expected to provide an official update on striker Benjamin Šeško’s knee injury in the coming days. The 22-year-old was forced off during United’s 2-2 Premier League draw against Tottenham Hotspur on November 8, 2025, after a challenge from Micky van de Ven, as reported by SoftFootball. Despite using all their substitutions, United had to finish the match with ten men.
Early assessments suggest the injury is not serious, offering cautious optimism for fans and the club. An MRI scan has been conducted to confirm the full extent, and further details are awaited. As posted by Fabrizio Romano on his official X account, Šeško’s development at Old Trafford has been closely watched, especially as he reflected on his first home goal in the Premier League in a report highlighted by SoftFootball.
The club and head coach Ruben Amorim have reacted carefully to the situation. Post-match, Amorim stressed the unpredictable nature of knee injuries, telling reporters:
I have no idea. Because it’s the knee, we never know.
He also emphasised Šeško’s importance to the squad, noting:
We need Ben to be a better team.
Sources close to the club remain positive about a short-term absence of one to three weeks if the injury is minor. Early signs suggest the striker will likely avoid a longer layoff. Fans have been urged to remain patient while the club monitors his recovery, with a careful approach being taken by the medical team.
Šeško has withdrawn from Slovenia’s national team for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Kosovo and Sweden. His absence is a setback for Slovenia, but United prioritise his recovery ahead of a congested schedule. The striker, who joined from RB Leipzig, has scored two goals and provided one assist in 12 appearances. He is gradually adapting to the Premier League and showing glimpses of the talent that made him one of Europe’s most promising forwards.
The full picture of Šeško’s fitness is expected ahead of United’s next league match against Everton on November 24, 2025. Meanwhile, fans are hopeful that he will return to action soon and continue making an impact.
