Hurt Benjamin Sesko to Miss Slovenian National Team Matches but United Hopeful of Swift Return
Striker Benjamin Sesko will miss out on Slovenia's forthcoming fixtures versus Sweden and Kosovo due to a knee injury suffered during the recent match at Tottenham. Nonetheless, the club is optimistic that he might return soon enough to face the Everton side after the international break.
Knock Details and Recovery Period
The attacker was substituted in the 87th minute of Saturday's 2-2 draw with Spurs having been brought on on 58 minutes replacing teammate Mazraoui. Coach Ruben Amorim voiced worry post-match, resulting in the player's pull-out from the Slovenian national team.
The club will conduct additional examinations at Carrington in the coming days, but initial assessments point to a potential recovery in time for the Everton match on November 24th.
Other Squad News
Maguire and Casemiro also had to leave the pitch during the Tottenham match. While the defender's status is yet to be determined, it is believed that Casemiro is fit and has reported for international duty with Brazil.
Martínez, who has not played after a knee injury back in February, will travel to Argentina at their training base in Europe. But, the defender will not feature in the Friday friendly versus Angola in Luanda. A member of the club's medical staff will support the player, who has lately resumed work with Amorim's squad.
