Man Utd striker Benjamin Sesko has suffered a recurrence of the shin injury that sidelined him for most of the summer.

Speaking before the 1-1 draw against Fulham, manager Michael Carrick said:

“He just felt a little bit of pain after the game the other night [against Brighton in the Carabao Cup]. We’re assessing that. Hopefully, it’s not too bad, but we will have to see.”

Sesko has withdrawn from international duty, and he will undergo further tests to determine the extent of the injury.

Expected Return Date – Unknown

Marcus Rashford

The forward was forced off in the second half of the match at Craven Cottage last weekend.

Rashford appeared to be holding his groin after limping to the sidelines, and he has subsequently withdrawn from the England squad.

Expected Return Date – Unknown

Amad

Carrick says he is hopeful that the Ivorian international will be back in training ahead of United’s next game.

Amad picked up an ankle injury right before the opening match of the season against Hull City last month.

Expected Return Date – Saturday 10th October vs Tottenham (h)

Tom Heaton

The keeper sustained a major hamstring injury during the friendly against Paris Saint-Germain at the beginning of August.

No timeframe has been given for when Heaton will be available for selection once again.

Expected Return Date – Unknown

Matthijs de Ligt

Carrick has been pretty vague on when the Netherlands international will make his long-awaited comeback from a back injury.

De Ligt has been out for nearly 10 months, having last played against Crystal Palace at the end of November last year. Asked about the centre-back’s fitness last week, Carrick said:

“Matta is just working his way back, really. So I don’t want to, because of how it’s been, put too much of a timeframe on it.”

De Light has been training with the first team for several weeks, but he has not made a matchday squad so far this campaign.

Expected Return Date – October/November

Manuel Ugarte

The Uruguayan underwent surgery after sustaining a serious knee injury against Spain at the World Cup in late June.

Ugarte is not expected to make his comeback before the end of the calendar year.

Expected Return Date – 2027
