Hurt Benjamin Sesko to Sit Out Slovenian National Team Matches but Manchester United Hopeful of Quick Comeback

Forward Sesko will be absent from the Slovenian national team's upcoming matches against Kosovo and Sweden due to a knee problem sustained during the recent match at Tottenham. However, Manchester United remains hopeful that he could be back in time to play against the Everton side after the international window.

Injury Details and Timeline

The forward was substituted in the 87th minute of Saturday's 2-2 draw against Spurs after being brought on in the 58th minute for Noussair Mazraoui. Coach Ruben Amorim voiced worry after the game, resulting in Sesko's pull-out from the Slovenia national team.

The club will conduct additional examinations at their Carrington facility this week, but early indications suggest a potential recovery in time for the Everton scheduled for 24 November.

Other Team News

Casemiro and Harry Maguire likewise had to leave the field during the Spurs match. Although Maguire's status is yet to be determined, it is believed that the midfielder is available and has reported for international duty for Brazil.

MartĂ­nez, who has been sidelined since suffering a knee issue in February, will join the Argentine squad at their European training camp. But, the center-back will not feature in Friday's exhibition match against Angola in Luanda. A member of United's performance team will accompany the player, who has lately resumed work with the first-team group.
