Slovenia's star striker Benjamin Sesko is dealing with an injury ahead of their Euro 2024 clash with England on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old has suffered with a quad injury since the end of the season but has appeared in both of Slovenia's games so far.
Sesko was replaced during the closing stages of their draw with Serbia on Thursday leading to fears that the RB Leipzig star would be unavailable for the final group stage match.
However, a report from The Athletic claims an examination on Friday revealed an improvement in his condition and Sesko is now set to start in Cologne.
Matjaz Kek's side currently sit third behind England and Denmark in Group C, having drawn both of their games thus far.

But scans from the following days showed an improvement in his condition and the striker is now expected to start in the Group C clash
Slovenia will likely need at least a point against England to progress to the knockout stages for the first time in their history.
Sesko has been the subject of significant transfer speculation this summer after netting 14 Bundesliga goals in his first season with RB Leipzig.
Arsenal were reportedly one of several Premier League suitors interested in securing Sesko's signature, with Mikel Arteta intent on improving his attacking options for the coming season.
However, Sesko instead opted to sign a one-year contract extension with Leipzig, taking his current deal at the club until 2029.
