  "account": "Manchester United is advised to exercise caution while dealing with Benjamin Sesko's latest injury setback, according to an injury specialist. The forward missed United's match against Fulham prior to the international break and was also unable to play for Slovenia over the past three weeks. The club kept Sesko at Carrington to monitor his condition and conduct additional tests. However, United is set to face Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, with no indication that the striker will be available for selection. Reports suggest that Sesko's issue is a recurrence of the shin injury that prematurely ended his debut season with United. Slovenia's manager, Bostjan Cesar, commented that the situation is challenging for the player, as he has not experienced many injuries in the past. Injury specialist Stephen Smith, speaking to the Metro, emphasized the inherent risks associated with reaggravations of such injuries, likening them to a game of whack-a-mole. Smith advised that United should adopt a cautious approach due to the recurrence of the injury, as they are unlikely to replicate the same strategies that failed previously. He also mentioned that unless there is a significant improvement from Sesko, the recovery timeline may mirror the one experienced in the prior episode.",
