Hurt Sesko to Miss Slovenia Matches but Manchester United Optimistic of Swift Return

Striker Benjamin Sesko will miss out on the Slovenian national team's forthcoming matches against Kosovo and Sweden because of a knee injury sustained during the latest match against Tottenham. However, the club is optimistic that he could be back soon enough to face the Everton side following the international break.

Knock Particulars and Recovery Period

The attacker was substituted after 87 minutes of Saturday's 2-2 stalemate with Tottenham after being introduced on 58 minutes replacing teammate Mazraoui. Manager Ruben Amorim expressed concern after the game, leading to the player's pull-out from the Slovenian squad.

Manchester United will carry out further tests at Carrington in the coming days, but early indications point to a possible return ahead of the Everton on 24 November.

Other Team News

Casemiro and Harry Maguire likewise were forced off the field during the Tottenham encounter. While the defender's condition remains unclear, it is understood that the midfielder is available and has reported for international duty with Brazil.

Lisandro Martínez, who has been sidelined since a knee injury in February, will join the Argentine squad at their European training camp. However, the defender won't play in Friday's exhibition match versus Angola at Luanda. A member of United's medical staff will support Martínez, who has lately returned to training with the first-team group.
