Manchester United Hold Benjamin Sesko Back From Slovenia Duty for Knee Assessment

Early reports point to a positive initial check, with an MRI to determine the extent of the knee injury.

Overview

  • United confirmed Sesko sustained a knee problem against Tottenham and will remain at Carrington for assessment rather than join Slovenia.
  • Manager Rúben Amorim said on‑pitch checks found "something in his knee" and that the severity is unknown pending further tests.
  • Slovenian outlet Sportklub reported preliminary examinations were encouraging, with an MRI planned to provide a definitive diagnosis.
  • Slovenia coach Matjaz Kek said his federation has not received official medical documentation from United as the player misses upcoming qualifiers.
  • With AFCON absences approaching, coverage notes United are weighing January attacking options, while a reported recall of loanee Rasmus Hojlund is unlikely due to Napoli’s loan terms.
