Hurt Sesko to Sit Out Slovenian National Team Matches but United Hopeful of Swift Return

Striker Benjamin Sesko will miss out on the Slovenian national team's forthcoming matches against Kosovo and Sweden due to a knee problem suffered during the latest game at Tottenham. However, the club remains hopeful that he might be back in time to face the Everton side following the international window.

Knock Particulars and Recovery Period

The forward had to come off after 87 minutes of the Saturday 2-2 draw with Spurs after being brought on on 58 minutes replacing teammate Mazraoui. Manager Ruben Amorim expressed concern post-match, resulting in Sesko's withdrawal from the Slovenian squad.

The club will conduct further tests at their Carrington facility in the coming days, but initial assessments point to a possible return in time for the Everton on 24 November.

Additional Squad Updates

Maguire and Casemiro likewise had to leave the field during the Tottenham match. While Maguire's status remains unclear, it is believed that the midfielder is fit and has joined national team commitments for Brazil.

Lisandro Martínez, who has not played after a knee injury in February, will join the Argentine squad at their European training camp. But, the defender won't play in Friday's exhibition match versus Angola at Luanda. A staff member of the club's medical staff will support the player, who has lately resumed work with the first-team group.
