Hurt Sesko to Sit Out Slovenian National Team Matches but Manchester United Optimistic of Swift Return
Striker Benjamin Sesko will miss out on the Slovenian national team's upcoming fixtures versus Sweden and Kosovo due to a knee problem sustained during the latest game against Tottenham. However, Manchester United remains hopeful that he could return soon enough to face Everton after the international break.
Injury Particulars and Timeline
The attacker was substituted after 87 minutes of the Saturday 2-2 draw with Tottenham after being brought on on 58 minutes replacing teammate Mazraoui. Manager Ruben Amorim expressed concern after the game, leading to Sesko's withdrawal from the Slovenian national team.
Manchester United will carry out further tests at their Carrington facility this week, but early indications suggest a potential recovery in time for the Everton scheduled for November 24th.
Other Team Updates
Maguire and Casemiro likewise were forced off the field during the Spurs match. While Maguire's condition remains unclear, it is understood that Casemiro is available and has joined international duty for Brazil.
Lisandro Martínez, who has not played since suffering a knee issue in February, will join Argentina at their training base in Europe. But, the defender won't play in Friday's friendly versus Angola at Luanda. A member of the club's performance team will support the player, who has lately returned to training with the first-team group.
