Overview
- Manchester United confirmed Monday that Benjamin Sesko pulled out of Slovenia's Nations League squad and will remain in England to undergo medical tests before an individual recovery programme.
- Sesko posted on Instagram apologising for missing the internationals and saying he will concentrate fully on recovery as he works to return to action for club and country.
- The club describes the problem as a recurrence of a shin issue that first surfaced in the spring and that Sesko previously managed while helping United secure Champions League qualification.
- Sesko felt the shin again after the Carabao Cup game with Brighton, missed the trip to Fulham and did not travel to London before the international break.
- United will use the three-week international pause to run targeted rehabilitation with the aim of having him fit for the Oct. 10 Tottenham game while options such as Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo cover the forward role, a pattern that has strained relations with the Slovenian setup after multiple missed camps.
