Hurt Sesko to Miss Slovenian National Team Matches but Manchester United Optimistic of Swift Return
Striker Benjamin Sesko will miss out on Slovenia's forthcoming matches against Kosovo and Sweden due to a knee problem sustained during the latest game at Tottenham. Nonetheless, the club remains hopeful that he might be back soon enough to face the Everton side following the international window.
Knock Details and Timeline
The attacker had to come off in the 87th minute of Saturday's 2-2 stalemate with Spurs having been introduced on 58 minutes for teammate Mazraoui. Coach the team's manager expressed concern post-match, leading to the player's pull-out from the Slovenia national team.
The club will conduct additional examinations at their Carrington facility in the coming days, but initial assessments point to a possible recovery in time for the Everton match scheduled for 24 November.
Other Team Updates
Casemiro and Harry Maguire likewise had to leave the field during the Tottenham match. While Maguire's status remains unclear, it is understood that the midfielder is fit and has joined international duty with Brazil.
Martínez, who has been sidelined since suffering a knee issue in February, will travel to Argentina at their European training camp. But, the defender won't play in the Friday friendly versus Angola in Luanda. A member of United's medical staff will support Martínez, who has lately resumed work with Amorim's squad.
