The Story in 60 Seconds

Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko is undergoing medical assessments after experiencing recurring pain in his shin, putting his availability for Slovenia's upcoming Nations League fixtures in doubt. The 23-year-old forward missed United's draw against Fulham on Sunday after reporting discomfort following a midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Brighton, and manager Michael Carrick confirmed he could not offer a timeframe for his return.

Sesko previously missed nearly four months, including the entirety of pre-season, after aggravating the same shin issue against Liverpool. With United likely to withdraw the £73 million forward from international duty, tensions may reignite with Slovenia manager Bostjan Cesar, as Sesko has not featured for his national team since October 2025.
