Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko will not report for international duty after picking up a knee injury.
Sesko was introduced from the bench in the 58th minute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but he lasted just half an hour and was forced off the pitch after receiving treatment for a knee injury.
United had to finish the game with 10 men because Amorim had used all of his substitutions.
Sesko will continue to be assessed at Carrington this week, but sources have indicated the injury is not thought to be a major issue.

Sesko was spotted limping as he left the stadium. Amorim was asked about the injury during his press conference and said: “We have to check. He had something in his knee, let’s see.”
When asked whether it was serious, Amorim said: “I have no idea. Because it’s the knee, we never know.”
United signed Sesko for €76.5million (£66.4m) plus €8.5m (£7.3m) in add-ons in the summer. The 22-year-old started on the bench for the opening three Premier League games of the season. He made his debut against Manchester City in September and notched his first goal against Brentford.
Sesko built on that by scoring against Sunderland to secure a 2-0 victory last month. However, he was benched against Liverpool at Anfield and failed to score in the next three matches.
