  "account": "Manchester United forward Benjamin Sesko will be absent from Slovenia's upcoming international matches, including games against Scotland, North Macedonia and Switzerland. The 23-year-old has been sidelined since last week's League Cup loss to Brighton due to a shin injury. Manchester United announced Sesko's withdrawal from the Slovenia squad on Monday, stating he will undergo tests to determine his recovery plan. This is the fourth player from the club to bow out of international duty on Monday, joining Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo, who are both sidelined for England, and Karl Darlow, who missed Wales' match. Michael Carrick's United currently sits 12th in the Premier League table after collecting only five points from their first five games. Their next fixture is against Tottenham at home on October 10.",
