Manchester United pair Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko have pulled out of their national squads for this month's international break, but their fitness worries aren't for United's upcoming Premier League clash against Leeds United.
The two strikers won't jet off to their respective countries and will stay at Carrington for the coming fortnight. Both players appeared in United's 2-2 stalemate at Bournemouth, with Sesko coming on for Mbeumo in the 71st minute.
Sesko's Slovenia are scheduled to face Hungary and Montenegro over the next 10 days, whilst Cameroon meet Australia and China in friendlies. The duo's absence, however, isn't expected to rule them out of the Leeds fixture on April 13.
Noussair Mazraoui, who sat out Friday's match, has linked up with his Morocco colleagues.
The African nation, who were recently crowned AFCON champions, face Ecuador and Paraguay.
Sesko and Mbeumo's withdrawal leaves United with 11 players departing on international duty this fortnight.
