Cunha, Maguire, Sesko and Bruno injury updates ahead of the duel against West Ham

Gilabola.com – Manchester United are in a more optimistic situation ahead of the match against West Ham at Old Trafford after receiving confirmation regarding the conditions of Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire and Benjamin Sesko, with some of them predicted to be able to return to play while others still have to wait for the recovery period.

Manchester United will play a rare midweek match, precisely on Thursday evening local time. Ruben Amorim’s team entered this match with the capital of winning over Crystal Palace, even though they were one goal behind in the first half.

In a report circulating, Amorim explained that Bruno Fernandes’ condition was not as serious as initially thought. He only suffered a knock when facing Palace and is predicted not to experience any significant problems in the next match.

Matheus Cunha also gave positive signals via social media. He showed that his recovery process was going well and indicated that he was back training with the squad ahead of the West Ham match.

In the upload he shared, you can see a training photo with a caption indicating that he has returned. This makes the public estimate that the recovery process will be faster than initial predictions.

Amorim previously explained that Cunha might be able to appear in the match against West Ham. This statement appeared before the victory over Crystal Palace, so this latest news is considered to further strengthen this suspicion.

Rows of Players Still Sidelined

On the other hand, Benjamin Sesko has not been able to join again. The knee injury he suffered when facing Tottenham is said to require more time so the medical staff is taking careful steps towards the striker’s recovery.

Amorim explained that Sesko still needed additional treatment. The team is said to not want to take risks because the player’s knee condition still has to be monitored from day to day.

Meanwhile, Harry Maguire is still unable to take part. The hamstring injury he suffered before the international break has not fully recovered, ruling him out of the last two Premier League games.

From existing reports, Maguire has not been able to return to full training sessions so it is likely that he will not be included in the squad prepared to face West Ham.

This situation means that several young players are expected to be given the opportunity to fill the bench again, especially in defensive positions which still require extra rotation.

Despite facing several injury problems, the atmosphere at Carrington is still described as quite positive. This cannot be separated from the team’s success in achieving an important victory last weekend.

Our opinion

In our opinion, the news of the return of several key players provides big benefits for Manchester United. However, smart rotation is still needed considering that several other names are still absent. If Amorim is able to maintain the rhythm of the game like when he faced Palace, the opportunity to achieve a second win in a row will be very open.
