Manchester United striker Benjamin Šeško is awaiting MRI results after a left knee scare, but initial medical analysis suggests an “irritative/overload” issue—such as fat-pad irritation or capsular flare—which should sideline him for a short-term period of less than two weeks, with no ligament damage suspected.

Pretty innocuous injury – no clear mechanism which points towards any specific injury straight away. Hard deceleration + his global palpation area, points more toward an irritative/overload knee problem than any ligament injury.
Early reports suggest that the first checks were encouraging, with an MRI scheduled for today to confirm details.
Potential Recovery Times:
Fat-pad irritation ± synovitis: <2 weeks
Minor capsular/synovial flare: <1 week
Again, nothing big to be worried about off footage. Please do DM me if you feel like I’ve missed something major.
United/Amorim acknowledged concern because it’s the knee, but nothing definitive until imaging lands, so label this a short-term knee scare unless MRI shows structural damage.
