Matjaz Kek has claimed that Manchester United have failed to provide an update to the Slovenian national team on Benjamin Sesko's knee injury.
The 22-year-old was forced off during the Reds' 2-2 stalemate with Tottenham Hotspur and will not report for international duty. Slovenia face Kosovo and Sweden in the coming days in their final two World Cup qualification matches but will do so without Sekso.
Slovenia manager Kek has claimed that he is still in the dark with regards to the specifics of Sesko's injury. In quotes carried by Epika, the Slovenia manager said: "With all due respect to a big club like Manchester United.
"We haven't officially received anything yet, no paper, no document. We would definitely like to receive it, we also want the player to be examined by our medical service.
"Our doctor is an expert in this field, we don't have anyone in this position. I can't comment, of course I have certain information, I'm also in contact with Beni.
"But I can't say anything because officially we know absolutely nothing, United hasn't contacted anyone from our camp. Of course I'm worried about the player, the only thing I'm interested in is his well-being, we're ready to do everything for that and we've never sent anyone onto the field if there was the slightest risk.
"But the national team is something very special and I expect maximum respect from everyone. Slovenia deserves that, even if there's a superpower like England on the other side, and something as exceptional as the Premier League."
