Nets early Sesko scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 5-1 loss against Bayern Munich.

Impact Sesko scored the equalizer in the second minute and was completely played out of the game for the rest of the match. The striker earning a goal is certainly nice, but it does little to paper over a dreadful result. Sesko and Lois Openda will remain one of the best strike pairings in Europe after the break.

Misses late sitter versus Portugal Sesko drew one foul and registered three shots (two on goal), three clearances and one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 3-0 loss on PKs to Portugal.

Impact Sesko was sprightly and led his team in attempts but squandered a one-on-one with the goalie late that could have easily sent his team to the quarterfinals.

Starting Tuesday Sesko (quad) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's clash with England.

Impact Sesko is reportedly dealing with a quad injury but he was deemed fit enough to start the crucial third match of the group stage. The striker is the lead man for Slovenia and a huge part of everything in the attack, he will play as long as he is physically able to during Tuesday's match.

Dealing with quad injury Sesko is said to be dealing with a quadriceps injury following his early exit against Serbia on Friday, according to Jaboc Whitehead of The Athletic.

Impact Sesko is now in question for Slovenia's final group-stage match, as he is dealing with a thigh injury that leads back to his club campaign with Leipzig and is still being affected by that issue. He has been limited in training due to the issues and has only gotten through the first two games by taking painkillers. That said, he will likely be a close call for Thursday's match against England, with the team hoping he is an option, as he is their most likely player to score, and they still have a chance at qualifying for the knockout stages.

Impact Sesko was close to scoring a great goal, but his shot hit the post in the most dangerous play he generated during the match. He featured alongside Andraz Sporar in the front line of a 4-4-2 formation.

Extends contract Sesko has agreed to a contract extension with Leipzig, as he is now signed with the team until 2029.

Impact Sesko is remaining with Leipzig for a couple more seasons, as the 21-year-old is set to serve with the club until 2029 after inking a five-year contract extension.
