Slovenia’s star striker, Benjamin Sesko, is facing an injury concern ahead of their crucial Euro 2024 encounter with England. The 21-year-old has been managing a quad injury since the season’s conclusion but has featured in both of Slovenia’s matches thus far. Sesko was substituted late in their draw with Serbia, sparking concerns about his availability for the final group game.
However, according to a report, an examination the following day revealed positive signs of improvement, and Sesko is now expected to start against England. Matjaz Kek’s team currently sits third in Group C, having drawn both their games, and will likely need at least a point to advance to the knockout stages for the first time.
