United’s £77M summer signing Sesko was forced off in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham, with multiple updates emerging over the November international break that suggested he could miss up to 8 games.
Head coach Ruben Amorim said afterwards he did not know if it was a serious problem, which worried fans who believed he could be out for a number of months.
However, journalist Fabrizio Romano has given an update on the striker, who is set to return to the club earlier than expected in a huge boost for Amorim.
“Manchester United staff expect to have Benjamin Šeško back training with the group at the beginning of December.
“Slovenian striker expected to be sidelined for around 3 weeks, not a serious/long injury as reported 10 days ago.”
Sesko, who pulled out of international duty with Slovenia to begin his injury rehab at Carrington, has 2 goals in 11 Premier League appearances so far in what has been a slow start.
Amorim is set to offer an update on the situation this week at a news conference before Monday's Premier League game with Everton at Old Trafford as focus turns back to domestic football.
Šeško could be in contention to feature against Bournemouth on December 15th, but it is ultimately down to Amorim and his medical staff to give the green light.
