Hurt Benjamin Sesko to Sit Out Slovenian National Team Matches but United Optimistic of Swift Comeback
Striker Benjamin Sesko will be absent from the Slovenian national team's upcoming matches versus Kosovo and Sweden because of a knee injury suffered during the recent game at Tottenham. Nonetheless, Manchester United is optimistic that he could be back soon enough to face the Everton side after the international window.
Injury 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 replacing teammate Mazraoui. Manager Ruben Amorim voiced worry post-match, leading to the player's pull-out from the Slovenian national team.
The club will carry out additional examinations at their Carrington facility this week, but initial assessments point to a possible return ahead of the Everton match on November 24th.
Additional Team News
Casemiro and Harry Maguire likewise were forced off the pitch during the Spurs match. While the defender's condition is yet to be determined, it is believed that Casemiro is fit and has joined international duty with Brazil.
Martínez, who has not played after a knee injury in February, will travel to the Argentine squad at their European training camp. But, the defender will not feature in the Friday exhibition match against Angola at Luanda. A staff member of the club's performance team will accompany the player, who recently resumed work with the first-team group.
