Present at a press conference this Thursday, before the Red Devils’ trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday at 1:30 p.m., Michael Carrick confirmed that Benjamin Šeško would not return to the field any time soon. Injured during the elimination of Manchester United against Brighton in the round of 16 of the Carabao Cup, the Slovenian striker has already missed six matches and his unavailability is expected to continue. “ Unfortunately, it looks like Ben will be away for a while. We still don’t know exactly how long “, explained the English coach. A worrying announcement for the Mancunian club, which will therefore have to continue to cope without its center forward for the next rounds.
Michael Carrick also clarified that Šeško’s recovery process was still ongoing and that the medical staff could not yet set a return date. “ We had to go through a healing process to see how the injury would respond, and we’re still working on that. “, he detailed, before recognizing: “ Not being able to count on him is obviously a hard blow for us. » As Manchester United prepare to challenge Chelsea in an important Premier League encounter, this prolonged absence reduces Carrick’s attacking options. The English technician will therefore have to find solutions in an attack which is struggling to score with only four goals and zero victories in the six matches in which the Slovenian has been absent.
