Benjamin Sesko withdraws from Slovenia squad with recurring shin injury

Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko has officially withdrawn from the Slovenia national squad for their upcoming Nations League fixtures. The 23-year-old is dealing with a recurring shin injury that has persisted since the spring.

Sesko missed the weekend's draw against Fulham and was absent from training following the Carabao Cup defeat to Brighton. The club has confirmed that the forward will undergo medical tests this week to establish an individual recovery plan.

I am very sorry that I will have to miss the national team's upcoming matches. Right now, the most important thing is to focus fully on my recovery. I am already working on getting back on the pitch as soon as possible. Benjamin Sesko

The forward previously played through pain to help the Red Devils secure Champions League qualification, but the issue has continued to linger. Having struggled to find form this season—scoring just twice and failing to start a Premier League game—this latest setback adds to a difficult start at Old Trafford.

United will utilize the international break to manage Sesko's rehabilitation carefully. The medical staff is aiming to have the attacker ready for the crucial home fixture against Tottenham on October 10.
