JAKARTA - Benjamin Sesko was forced to be withdrawn during the match against Tottenham Hotspur on November 8, 2025 due to injury.
The injury also disrupted the striker's schedule at the international break. As a result, he failed to defend Slovenia in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
This situation made the Slovenian coach, Matjaz Kek, criticize Manchester United for not telling him about Sesko's condition. He considered the Red Devils to have no respect for Slovenia.
"With all due respect to a great club like Manchester United, we haven't received anything officially, there are no documents (about Sesko's injury)."
"We certainly want to get it. We want our medical team to also examine it. Our doctors are experts in this field."
"We don't have anyone in this position. I can't comment, of course, I have certain information. I'm also in contact with Beni, of course."

"I can't say anything because officially, we don't know anything. Manchester United hasn't contacted anyone from our camp yet."
"Of course, I'm worried about the player. The only thing that matters to me is his welfare."
"We are ready to do everything for it. We have never sent anyone on the pitch if there is the slightest risk."
"However, the national team is something very special. I expect the greatest respect of everyone."
"Slovenia deserves it even though on the other hand there is power like England and something extraordinary like the Premier League."
"Besides, it's been a long time since Britain beat Slovenia and it shows something about us," said Matjaz.
The 22-year-old underwent several tests on his knee. The club believes he has avoided serious injuries and the striker will recover quickly.
It remains to be seen now whether the Amorism will keep Sesko in its squad in the next game after the international break against Everton on November 24, 2025.
Slovenia faces two 2026 World Cup Qualifiers without Sesko. They won 1-0 against Northern Ireland and were crushed by Germany 0-6.
The result made Slovenia have to fight for the 2026 World Cup through a playoffs because it only finished second in Group A under Germany.
