The Football Association of Slovenia has officially ended the club-versus-country row involving Manchester United forward Benjamin Sesko, confirming they have received all necessary medical documentation from the Premier League club.
Sesko sustained a knee injury during United's 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur last Saturday and subsequently withdrew from Slovenia's World Cup qualifiers against Kosovo and Sweden. He remained at Carrington for treatment rather than reporting for international duty.
Slovenia manager Matjaz Kek had expressed fury, claiming United kept him in the dark and demanded maximum respect for his country. He even threatened a diplomatic incident, preferring his own medical team to examine the player.
However, a spokesperson for the Slovenian FA stated: 'The medical team received the complete medical documentation from Manchester United regarding Benjamin Sesko’s health condition. Unfortunately, the injury currently does not allow for the training process. We wish Benjamin a speedy recovery.'
United believed they followed proper protocols in withdrawing Sesko. The injury is not thought to be serious, and further examinations and treatment are planned at the club.
