Sesko, 22, picked up the knock late in United's 2-2 Premier League draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday and did not join up with Slovenia ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Kosovo on November 15 and Sweden on November 18. He has remained at Carrington for treatment on what United believe is a minor problem.

Slovenia manager Matjaz Kek had earlier criticised United for a lack of communication, claiming he had been left "completely in the dark" about the player's condition. Kek demanded "maximum respect" for his national side and said Slovenia's medical team should have been allowed to assess Sesko themselves.

"With all due respect to a great club like Manchester United, we have officially not received anything yet, no papers, no documents," Kek said earlier in the week. "Of course, I am concerned about the player. The only thing that matters to me is his wellbeing."

However, the Slovenian FA have since confirmed that they have received full medical details from United and have accepted the club's decision to keep the player in Manchester for recovery.

"The medical team of the Slovenian national football team received the complete medical documentation from Manchester United regarding Benjamin Sesko's health condition following his injury on Saturday," a federation spokesperson said.

"Unfortunately, the injury currently does not allow for the training process. In the coming days, additional examinations and the start of treatment are planned at the club, so Benjamin will not be able to participate in this national team action. We wish him a speedy recovery and return to the pitch as soon as possible."

United are understood to be satisfied that they followed proper procedures in withdrawing Sesko from international duty, while Slovenia's statement appears to have drawn a line under the disagreement.

Sesko, who joined United from RB Leipzig in the transfer window for a fee of around 74 million pounds, has scored five goals in all competitions this season and is expected to return to action before the end of November.
