Manchester United have suffered a big blow ahead of their final Premier League game of the season.
According to The Sun, Benjamin Sesko will not be available for the trip to Brighton & Hove Albion next Sunday.
Sesko aggravated his shin injury during the 3-2 win over Liverpool and missed the clashes against Sunderland and Nottingham Forest.
The 22-year-old had already been managing discomfort in his shin for several weeks before suffering another painful setback following a heavy challenge from Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate.
With Slovenia failing to qualify for the World Cup this summer, Sesko will now focus entirely on recovering in time for pre-season.
Sesko has enjoyed a superb debut campaign in Manchester, netting 11 goals and providing one assist in the Premier League.
Even more remarkably, he has managed those numbers despite featuring in only 30 league matches and starting just 17 of them.
United invested heavily in Sesko last summer, splashing an initial £65 million fee to lure him away from RB Leipzig.
The young forward initially faced fierce criticism from pundits after failing to score during the opening weeks of the campaign.
However, Sesko responded in emphatic fashion by showcasing his ruthless finishing ability throughout 2026.
Some sections of the media may still argue that his season has fallen below expectations, but they are blind to the importance and timing of his goals.
The Old Trafford faithful will now hope Sesko can return fully refreshed for pre-season and finally break the 20-goal barrier next campaign.
