Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko has pulled out of Slovenia's upcoming Nations League matches due to a shin problem. Sesko missed Sunday's 1-1 Premier League draw against Fulham with the injury, which he sustained during last week's League Cup defeat to Brighton. The 23-year-old will undergo tests this week to determine the extent of the injury and define his individual recovery plan.
Sesko's withdrawal from the Slovenia squad means he will miss two matches against Scotland, as well as games against North Macedonia and Switzerland. Manchester United confirmed Sesko's withdrawal from the squad in a statement on Monday. The club stated that Sesko will focus on his recovery and rehabilitation before determining his availability for future matches.
Sesko is not the only Manchester United player to withdraw from international duty this week. Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo have both pulled out of England's squad, while Karl Darlow withdrew from the Wales camp. Sesko has scored two goals for United this season, but the team has struggled in the Premier League, sitting 12th in the table after five games.
Manchester United's next match is at home to bottom side Tottenham on October 10. The team's poor start to the season has put pressure on manager Michael Carrick to turn things around. Sesko's injury and withdrawal from the Slovenia squad will be a further blow to Carrick's plans for the upcoming matches.
Sesko's performances for Manchester United have been closely watched by fans and pundits alike. The 23-year-old has shown promise as a striker, but has yet to make a significant impact in the Premier League. His injury and subsequent withdrawal from the Slovenia squad will be a setback for both the player and the team.
The Slovenian national team will have to find alternative options for their upcoming Nations League matches. Sesko's withdrawal is a significant blow to the team, as he has been an important player for Slovenia in recent years. The team will have to regroup and find a way to cope with his absence.
Manchester United's injury problems continue to mount, with Sesko joining a growing list of players on the sidelines. The team will have to find a way to overcome these setbacks and improve their performances on the pitch. Sesko's recovery and return to action will be crucial for the team's success in the coming weeks and months.
