Manchester United’s forward Benjamin Sesko will miss Slovenia’s upcoming international matches against Kosovo and Sweden due to a knee injury sustained during a recent Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur. The injury occurred when Sesko was forced to leave the field in the 87th minute of the 2-2 draw on November 11, 2023, shortly after being substituted into the game.
After being introduced on the field for Noussair Mazraoui, Sesko’s injury raised immediate concerns. Slovenia’s coach, Ruben Amorim, confirmed that the player has withdrawn from the national squad as a precautionary measure. While the initial prognosis is uncertain, Manchester United is optimistic that Sesko could return in time for their Premier League fixture against Everton on November 24, 2023.
United Conducting Further Tests
The club will conduct additional medical tests at their Carrington training facility this week to assess the extent of Sesko’s injury. Reports indicate that there is hope he may recover quickly, potentially allowing him to participate in the match against Everton. This optimism follows a thorough evaluation of his condition.
Sesko is not the only United player dealing with injury concerns. Both Casemiro and Harry Maguire were also forced off during the match against Tottenham. While Casemiro has been reported fit and has joined the Brazilian national team, Maguire’s condition remains unclear.
Lisandro Martínez has not played since suffering a knee injury earlier this year. He will join the Argentine squad for a European training camp, although he is not expected to participate in the friendly match against Angola in Luanda.
As the international break approaches, Manchester United will monitor their players closely while hoping for a swift recovery for Sesko. The club’s medical team is focused on ensuring that all injured players can return to the pitch as soon as possible, as they prepare for a crucial period in the Premier League season.
