The Standard reported that Benjamin Sesko has withdrawn from Slovenia’s squad for the coming international break after reaggravating the shin injury he has carried since last season. Manchester United said he will undergo tests this week before his individual recovery plan is set.
The update comes after Sesko was initially thought to be building back towards full fitness, having started against Sabah and featured in four straight matches. But he missed Sunday’s draw with Fulham, and Michael Carrick said after that game that Sesko had felt pain in his shin and was not ready to play.
According to the report, United hope he can be assessed in time to be considered for the visit of Tottenham on 10 October, though that remains dependent on the next stage of his rehabilitation.
What remains unconfirmed
- His exact return date is not fixed.
- His availability for Tottenham on 10 October is still dependent on recovery progress.
