Injury specialist urges Man Utd to proceed with caution after details emerge of player’s latest setback
Manchester United forward Benjamin Sesko is facing a recurring shin injury, prompting experts to advise the club to handle his recovery with extreme caution. The player has missed recent matches and his return timeline remains uncertain.
Why it matters
Managing recurring injuries in high-value athletes is critical for long-term player health and team performance in professional sports.
Manchester United have been urged to proceed with caution when handling Benjamin Sesko's latest setback.
The forward was ruled out of United's clash with Fulham prior to the international break, and was unable to represent Slovenia over the last three weeks.

It's thought that Sesko did not feature in the behind-closed-doors friendly United held against Lausanne-Sport a week ago, leading fans to believe he was still sidelined.
