Benjamin Sesko will miss Slovenia’s upcoming Nations League fixtures after a recurrence of the shin injury that forced him off in the victory over Liverpool in May.
The Manchester United striker was called up for games against Scotland, North Macedonia and Switzerland but withdrew from the squad after suffering further pain. Michael Carrick handed Sesko a start in the Carabao Cup defeat to Brighton, replacing him at 66 minutes, and he did not travel to Fulham on Saturday due to the shin issue.
Slovenia head coach Bostjan Cesar told Planet Nagomet that Sesko is going through “a difficult period in his career”. “He is going through a difficult period,” Cesar said. “It is an atypical injury that requires time to heal. The most important thing now is for Sesko to surround himself with people he trusts and believes in, and for everyone around him to remain positive.”
Sesko has been on an individual recovery plan at Carrington this week and is targeting a return for United’s next fixture against Tottenham Hotspur on 10 October.
