Four Manchester United players withdraw from upcoming international matches

Benjamin Sesko, Karl Darlow, Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo have all pulled out of their respective national team duties amid injury concerns.

Manchester United announced that four of its players have withdrawn from international duty. Striker Benjamin Sesko, who missed the recent Fulham match with a shin injury sustained in the Carabao Cup loss to Brighton, will not feature for Slovenia in upcoming Nations League games against Scotland, North Macedonia and Switzerland. Goalkeeper Karl Darlow has also exited the Wales squad despite being on the bench for the Fulham fixture.

Additionally, Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo were omitted from the England squad after Rashford struggled with a hip problem and Mainoo was substituted late in the Fulham draw. United said Sesko will undergo medical tests this week to determine his recovery plan.
