Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko has been ruled out of Slovenia’s upcoming international fixtures against Kosovo and Sweden following a knee injury suffered during the 2-2 Premier League draw with Tottenham Hotspur. Despite initial concern, the club remains optimistic that the forward will make a swift recovery and be available shortly after the international break.
Sesko was substituted in the 87th minute after coming on as a second-half replacement for Noussair Mazraoui. The 21-year-old forward underwent preliminary assessments at Carrington, and further tests will determine the full extent of the injury. Early signs, however, suggest that the issue is not serious, and he could return to action when United host Everton on 24 November.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim admitted some concern after the match but emphasized that Sesko’s withdrawal from the Slovenia squad was a precautionary measure. The coaching staff hopes to have him back in full training soon to continue his promising form since joining the club.
United’s injury list grew further during the Tottenham match, with Casemiro and Harry Maguire also forced off. Casemiro has since been declared fit and has joined the Brazil national team for international duty. However, Maguire’s condition remains uncertain, with medical assessments ongoing to determine the nature and severity of his issue.
In more positive news for United, Lisandro Martínez is stepping up his recovery from a long-term knee injury sustained in February. The Argentine defender has rejoined training and will link up with the national squad during their European camp. Although he will not feature in Argentina’s friendly against Angola in Luanda, his presence in the camp represents an important step toward full fitness.
A member of Manchester United’s performance team will accompany Martínez to oversee his rehabilitation progress, ensuring that his workload remains carefully managed. The club hopes to have both Martínez and Sesko fully fit by the end of November, providing a timely boost to Amorim’s squad as United prepare for a congested winter schedule.
