Sesko injury
I understand he has a shin injury from last season, a game in May. There doesn't seem to be any specific detail other than he is doing tailored training.
Is it Shin Splints?
Most mild cases resolve in 2 to 4 weeks, but chronic or severe cases can take 3 to 6 months to fully heal.

I've seen the latest pictures of Sesko and he's absolutely filled out. He's put on a fair bit of muscle and is going to be an absolute handful for defenders.
It also wouldn't surprise me if part of his current recovery is down to his body adapting to that physique change. When players bulk up, especially at his age, muscles can get stronger quicker than tendons and ligaments can adapt.
That can lead to a few niggly strains or minor soft-tissue injuries while the body gets used to carrying the extra muscle and the increased loads from sprinting, turning and stopping. If that's the case, it's nothing unusual and should settle once he fully adapts. I think this could be quite a plausible reason.

Think I'll leave that one to the medical team. They will deal with what they know, not with what we don't know.

You're right, Ken. We should probably shut the forum until the medical team release a statement.

Haha, Ports/TW, tbf to the medical team, they have had some tough situations to deal with Mdl and Malacia, and also there has been a big churn in that department.

Or we could all debate something nobody knows anything about, Ports, to no end. We don't know what the injury is, so until we do and are told, we could summarise till the cows come home and nobody will be any the wiser.

You do get the concept of football forum pages right?!
