Benjamin Sesko is viewed as physically ready to play despite fitness concerns. He has not played a full game since appearing as a second-half substitute in a pre-season match in July. Mason Mount may benefit if Sesko is not named to start. Amorim's potential back three could include Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Harry Maguire, while wing-back slots may be filled by Amad Diallo and Patrick Dorgu. Bruno Fernandes may have to play deeper alongside Casemiro due to a lack of midfield options.
Amorim stated, "We didn't have a lot of time but he's ready. First of all, physically, he's ready. That is a big component in our league." He emphasized that Sesko’s physical readiness and intelligence are crucial as he asked detailed questions during his training sessions.
Concerns exist over Sesko’s fitness due to limited game time, having only played as a second half substitute in a friendly since July. If he is benched, Mason Mount may benefit by taking on an attacking midfield position or a false nine role.
Amorim may field a back three consisting of Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Harry Maguire, with Amad Diallo and Patrick Dorgu playing as wing-backs. Due to limited midfield personnel, Bruno Fernandes may need to play a deeper midfield role alongside Casemiro.
