Why is Benjamin Sesko Not Playing in Man United vs Everton? Amorim Issues BIG UPDATE

As Manchester United prepare to square off against their Premier League opposition later today at Old Trafford, one significant name is missing from their squad list. Anyone catching the action of Man United vs Everton probably has one question in mind pertaining to their main man up front. The short answer to "Is Benjamin Sesko playing today?" is no, as the 22-year-old forward has been ruled out of the matchday squad for the clash against the Toffees.

Sesko, who joined United in the summer of 2025, has been a key figure in Amorim's plans so far, but he won't be playing in this round of fixtures. Fans have been asking the question, "Is Benjamin Sesko playing today?" since the 11 was announced earlier today, but Man United manager Amorim confirmed in his pre-match press conference that the forward is unavailable for selection.

What Ruben Amorim Said

Speaking to the media ahead of the match, Ruben Amorim issued a "big update" regarding his forward's fitness. While he confirmed Benjamin Sesko is out for the immediate future, the news is relatively positive regarding the severity.

"He is going to stay out for a few weeks," Amorim explained. "I don’t know exactly how long, but it is not that serious. We have to be careful with him. He is recovering well and feeling better."

Amorim indicated that while Sesko is out for Man United vs Everton, the club is targeting a return in December
