Man United injury woes compounded as two more withdraw from international duty
Four Man United players have withdrawn from duty on the first day of the extended international break
Manchester United's injury concerns deepened as an additional two players withdrew from international duty, joining a growing list of absences. Striker Benjamin Sesko, 23, has decided to skip Slovenia's squad due to a shin issue he sustained during a Carabao Cup defeat to Brighton. The injury also ruled him out of two upcoming Nations League matches against Scotland and other games against North Macedonia and Switzerland.
Sesko is set to undergo tests this week to determine his recovery plan. This brings the total number of Man United players withdrawing from international duty to four. Goalkeeper Karl Darlow, who was on the bench for the Fulham game, has also decided to withdraw from Wales duty, adding to the woes for Craig Bellamy's side. Harry Wilson from Leeds and Nathan Broadhead from Wrexham have also been sidelined due to injury issues, with the latter being forced out due to a quad injury.
The list of players withdrawing from the England squad has also seen four players withdraw, including Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo. Rashford suffered an issue during a match against Fulham, while Mainoo, who had traveled to the World Cup under Tuchel but did not play a single minute, was also substituted during the closing stages of the game.
