Injured Benjamin Sesko to Miss Slovenian National Team Matches but Manchester United Optimistic of Swift Return
Forward Benjamin Sesko will be absent from Slovenia's forthcoming matches versus Kosovo and Sweden due to a knee injury suffered during the latest game against Tottenham. Nonetheless, Manchester United remains hopeful that he could return in time to face Everton following the international break.
Injury Details and Timeline
The forward was substituted in the 87th minute of the Saturday 2-2 draw with Spurs after being brought on in the 58th minute for teammate Mazraoui. Coach Ruben Amorim expressed concern post-match, resulting in the player's pull-out from the Slovenian national team.
Manchester United will carry out further tests at their Carrington facility in the coming days, but early indications suggest a potential recovery ahead of the Everton on November 24th.
Additional Squad News
Casemiro and Harry Maguire also were forced off the field during the Tottenham match. While Maguire's status is yet to be determined, it is believed that the midfielder is fit and has joined national team commitments for Brazil.
MartÃnez, who has not played after suffering a knee issue in February, will travel to the Argentine squad at their training base in Europe. But, the defender won't play in the Friday exhibition match versus Angola in Luanda. A member of the club's performance team will support the player, who has lately returned to training with the first-team group.
