Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko has been ruled out of Slovenia’s upcoming international fixtures after picking up a knee injury during the weekend’s Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur. The club remains optimistic, however, that his absence will be short-lived.
Sesko was substituted late in the match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, prompting immediate concern from manager Ruben Amorim. Subsequent assessments led to the player’s withdrawal from the Slovenian national team, where he was slated to face Kosovo and Sweden in the coming days.
Medical staff at United’s Carrington training base will conduct further evaluations this week. Early indications suggest Sesko could be in contention for the team’s next domestic outing against Everton on November 24, following the international break.
The match in North London also saw two other United players substituted due to knocks. While the status of defender Harry Maguire is still being determined, it is understood that midfielder Casemiro has recovered sufficiently and has joined the Brazilian national squad as planned.
In a separate development, defender Lisandro Martínez will travel to join the Argentina setup at their European training camp. Martínez, who has been sidelined since February with a serious knee injury, will not feature in Argentina’s upcoming friendly. A member of United’s performance staff will accompany him to oversee his continued rehabilitation, as the centre-back recently resumed training with the first team.
