Overview
- Manchester United have withdrawn Sesko from Slovenia duty and kept him at Carrington for further assessment after he hurt his knee against Tottenham.
- Sesko jarred his knee in a challenge and limped off after roughly half an hour; he later left the stadium without crutches but appeared uncomfortable.
- United are described as confident he has avoided a serious problem, with additional scans due ahead of their next fixture against Everton on November 24.
- Slovenia coach Matjaz Kek says the federation has not received official medical documentation from United and wants its own doctors to examine the player.
- Coverage in England has raised speculative January plans for another centre forward, frequently naming Ivan Toney, as AFCON could also reduce United’s forward options with Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo away if selected.
