Injured Benjamin Sesko to Sit Out Slovenia Games but Manchester United Optimistic of Quick Comeback
Striker Benjamin Sesko will miss out on Slovenia's forthcoming fixtures versus Kosovo and Sweden because of a knee problem suffered during the recent game against Tottenham. Nonetheless, the club is optimistic that he might return soon enough to face Everton after the international break.
Knock Particulars and Timeline
The forward was substituted after 87 minutes of Saturday's 2-2 draw with Tottenham after being brought on in the 58th minute for teammate Mazraoui. Manager Ruben Amorim voiced worry post-match, leading to Sesko's pull-out from the Slovenian national team.
The club will conduct additional examinations at their Carrington facility this week, but early indications suggest a possible return ahead of the Everton match scheduled for November 24th.
Other Squad News
Casemiro and Harry Maguire also were forced off the pitch during the Tottenham encounter. While the defender's status is yet to be determined, it is understood that the midfielder is fit and has reported for international duty with Brazil.
Martínez, who has not played after suffering a knee issue back in February, will travel to Argentina at their training base in Europe. But, the center-back will not feature in the Friday exhibition match against Angola in Luanda. A member of the club's performance team will support Martínez, who recently resumed work with Amorim's squad.
