Slovenia head coach Matjaz Kek has expressed frustration over Manchester United’s lack of communication regarding the injury that ruled striker Benjamin Sesko out of international duty.
Sesko was included in Kek’s squad for the November fixtures before picking up a knee injury during United’s 2–2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
The striker, who came on as a second-half substitute, was forced off late in the game and has since been withdrawn from international action.
While Manchester United confirmed Sesko’s absence from Slovenia’s upcoming matches, Kek revealed that neither he nor his medical staff had received any official update from the club about the player’s condition.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, the Slovenia boss admitted his disappointment with how the situation has been handled.
“With all due respect to a great club like Manchester United, we have officially not received anything yet; no papers, no documents,” Kek said.
“We would certainly like to get them. We want our medical team to also take a look at it. Our doctor is an expert in this field. We don’t have just anyone in this position.
“I cannot comment, of course I have certain information and I am also in contact with Beni. I can’t say anything because officially we don’t know anything at all.
“United haven’t contacted anyone from our camp. Of course, I am concerned about the player. The only thing that matters to me is his wellbeing.
“We are prepared to do everything for that and we have never sent anyone on the field if there was the slightest risk.”
The Red Devils have not yet offered any formal update on the severity of Sesko’s condition, stating only that the former RB Leipzig striker would be unavailable for international duty.
