Manchester United will be without Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko for their Premier League match against Sunderland this afternoon. The Brazilian midfielder and the Slovenian striker have both been omitted from the squad for the fixture at the Stadium of Light.
Sesko's Injury Update
Benjamin Sesko aggravated a shin injury during the first half of Manchester United's 3-2 victory over Liverpool last weekend. The forward was forced off at half-time after a heavy landing on the pitch at Old Trafford. Manager Michael Carrick had expressed doubts about Sesko's availability on Friday, and the striker has now been ruled out for the clash on Wearside.
Casemiro's Minor Issue
Casemiro also misses the game due to what has been described as a minor issue. According to reports, the Brazil international is 'not ready' to play but is expected to return to action next week. His absence adds to United's midfield concerns.
In addition, Manuel Ugarte is unavailable after picking up a problem during training. The Uruguayan midfielder will also be sidelined for the encounter.
More updates are expected as the match unfolds.
