Hurt Sesko to Miss Slovenia Matches but United Hopeful of Swift Return
Striker Benjamin Sesko will be absent from Slovenia's upcoming fixtures against Sweden and Kosovo because of a knee injury suffered during the latest match against Tottenham. Nonetheless, the club remains hopeful that he might be back in time to face the Everton side following the international window.
Injury Particulars and Timeline
The attacker was substituted after 87 minutes of the Saturday 2-2 stalemate against Tottenham having been introduced on 58 minutes for teammate Mazraoui. Coach Ruben Amorim voiced worry post-match, leading to the player's pull-out from the Slovenia national team.
The club will carry out further tests at their Carrington facility this week, but early indications point to a potential recovery ahead of the Everton on 24 November.
Additional Squad Updates
Maguire and Casemiro likewise had to leave the pitch during the Spurs match. Although Maguire's status is yet to be determined, it is believed that Casemiro is available and has reported for national team commitments for Brazil.
Lisandro Martínez, who has not played after a knee injury back in February, will join the Argentine squad at their European training camp. However, the defender will not feature in Friday's friendly versus Angola in Luanda. A member of the club's performance team will support the player, who has lately returned to training with the first-team group.
