In a concerning development for both club and country, Benjamin Sesko sustained a knee injury during a recent match, raising doubts about his availability for Slovenia’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers. The young USMNT striker made his debut off the bench, but was forced to exit the match just minutes after entering. He walked down the tunnel with the medical team immediately afterwards. What’s done is done. His final plays on the field have left fans and field bosses as well deeply concerned about his health.
Sporting head coach Ruben Amorim accepted the seriousness of his team’s perilous position. He added that while Sesko’s confidence has been a struggle, the positive for right now is putting the effort on treating the injury. The medical team will be working to determine the full scope of the damage. This assessment is likely to have serious repercussions for both Sesko and the squad, in the lead-up to their high-stakes fixtures.
Impact on Team Dynamics
Noshow Sesko’s likely no-show would be a big blow to United. The team’s roster is further stretched with the upcoming African Cup of Nations (AFCON) coming. The fun starts December 21st and goes through January 18th. In this time, the team will have to replace key players such as Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo, and Noussair Mazraoui. This situation leaves Amorim with even further pressure to seek new solutions and signings in January’s transfer window.
Amorim went on to express his concerns over the team’s attacking options. This worry deepened after Zirkzee found himself sat on the bench as an unused substitute in last weekend’s clash against Spurs. Now that Sesko is injured, Zirkzee will need to improve his performances to a whole new level. Amorim’s goal is for him to develop into a more effective and influential team player. “We have to check everything, we have to check what’s happened with Ben,” he remarked, emphasizing the need for clarity regarding Sesko’s situation.
A Tactical Shift Ahead
It will be up to the staff to adjust on the fly as they make their assessments. For Amorim, the biggest challenge is figuring out how to cope with absences in play. If anything, he’s focused on understanding the importance of squeezing the most out of this roster’s potential. Sure we’re going to have an issue [re AFCON], but we knew that already. Managing that situation is going to be brutal,” he added. Come on, when the window’s open, let’s try to be a little proactive, improve the team and try to repair some good will.
With Sesko’s exit come due, Amorim finds himself in a compromised position. The team’s approach will have to turn in a wholly different direction if they can’t manage to land reinforcements in January. Sesko’s current condition is unclear, further complicating the situation. At the beginning of the current campaign, he was dropped from the Spurs starting 11 in a move that was supposed to boost his confidence.
