Back with group at Carrington Sesko (lower leg) trained with Manchester United's squad Tuesday at Carrington, according to Danyal Khan.

Impact Sesko's return to the group marks progress after he was left out of the traveling squad for Saturday's preseason finale against AC Milan due to a lower leg issue. He made 30 Premier League appearances last season, including 17 starts, scoring 11 goals with an assist, and United will be hopeful of having him fully available as the new campaign gets underway. Sesko is expected to continue building up his sharpness now that he's back working with the full squad. His involvement in training this week should offer a clearer picture of his readiness for the season opener.

Left out of squad vs. Milan Sesko (lower leg) is not part of Manchester United's squad for Saturday's final preseason match against AC Milan, the club announced.

Impact Sesko had been working his way back on the training pitch with hopes of possibly featuring in this fixture as he continues his recovery from a lower leg injury, but his exclusion suggests he's not quite ready yet. Bryan Mbeumo is expected to start up top in his absence, with Joshua Zirkzee also an option, until Sesko is fully fit. He made 30 Premier League appearances last season, including 17 starts, scoring 11 goals with an assist, and United will hope to have him available heading into the start of the new season. Sesko is expected to continue building toward full training as the season opener approaches.

Hope for minutes soon Sesko (lower leg) could get some minutes in Saturday's friendly against AC Milan in Wroclaw, according to Tyrone Marshall of the Daily Mirror.

Impact Sesko has been working his way back on the training pitch this offseason as he continues his recovery from a lower leg injury, and the potential for minutes against Milan would mark a significant step forward. He made 30 Premier League appearances last season, including 17 starts, scoring 11 goals with one assist, and United will hope to have him as an option heading into the start of the new 2026/27 Premier League campaign.

Training Thursday Sesko (lower leg) was viewed working on the training pitch Thursday, according to his club.

Impact Sesko is continuing his recovery from injury this offseason, as the forward was pictured on the training field Thursday. This will hopefully lead to him joining the team in the coming weeks as they build up fitness ahead of the season. The forward would work into 17 starts in 30 appearances last season, earning one assist and 11 goals, so they will hope to have him as an option to begin the campaign.

Out vs. Brighton Sesko (lower leg) won't be an option for Sunday's game against Brighton, according to manager Michael Carrick.

Impact Sesko missed the 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest last week due to a shin injury, and he won't be an option for this game as well. The Slovenian forward was a bit inconsistent at times, but all things considered, he enjoyed a decent first year at Old Trafford. He bagged 11 goals across 30 appearances (17 starts) in the Premier League.

Not an option Sunday Sesko (lower leg) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Sesko has been unable to recover from the lower leg issue that had left him doubtful, with manager Michael Carrick confirming he was still not 100 percent and that his situation was not as straightforward as some of his teammates heading into the weekend. The forward had shown no positive signs of being able to train fully in recent days, and Manchester United opted against risking him with their top-four spot largely secured. His availability for the final game of the season will be monitored closely, with the club unwilling to take any unnecessary risks with his fitness at this stage of the season.

Unlikely for Sunday Sesko (lower leg) remains doubtful for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Michael Carrick. "Ben's not as straightforward as Case. He's still not 100 per...

Impact Sesko is looking to be unlikely to feature Sunday as the club faces Forest, as the forward is still yet to train and has not received a very positive update. This will leave his chances of returning slim, as the club will not want to risk him while already having third place pretty much secured. Even if he were to feature, it would likely be in a minor role from the bench.

Misses call Saturday Sesko (shin) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Sunderland.

Impact Sesko has been unable to recover from the shin injury that forced him off at halftime of Sunday's win over Liverpool, leaving Manchester United without one of their most important attacking contributors for the trip to Sunderland. The Slovenian striker had opened the scoring before the early exit and has netted 10 goals across all competitions since the new year, making his absence a significant concern for manager Carrick's side. Bryan Mbeumo is expected to slide into the striker role in his place, although it is Joshua Zirkzee getting the nod against the Black Cats Saturday. Sesko's availability for the remaining fixtures of the campaign will be monitored closely.

Doubtful vs Sunderland Sesko (shin) was forced off at halftime of Sunday's win over Liverpool with a shin injury, leaving his availability for Saturday's clash against Sunderland uncertain, according to...

Impact Sesko had opened the scoring before the shin issue forced his early exit, adding to what had already been a sore area heading into the fixture. The Slovenian striker has been one of Manchester United's most important attacking contributors since the new year, netting 10 goals across all competitions during that stretch, making his potential absence a significant concern. Manager Michael Carrick was not directly asked about Sesko's status but indicated he would look to give minutes to players who have not featured regularly in the final three matches of the campaign. Bryan Mbeumo remains a strong candidate to slide into the striker role should Sesko be unable to go Saturday.

Scores goal before shin issue Sesko scored one goal to go with three shots (two on target) before being forced off at halftime of Sunday's 3-2 win over Liverpool after aggravating a shin issue he has been manag...

Impact Sesko fired home the second goal in Sunday's win against Liverpool before a shin issue forced him off at halftime, and the club will evaluate the extent of the setback over the next few days before deciding on his availability moving forward. The knock to an already sore area raises concern for Manchester United given how crucial the Slovenian striker has been up top, especially after netting 10 goals across all competitions since the new year. If he's sidelined for any stretch, Bryan Mbeumo is a strong candidate to slide into the striker role until he's back.
