Manchester United’s summer acquisition, Noussair Mazraoui, will be temporarily unavailable after undergoing a precautionary medical procedure. Conflicting reports initially emerged, suggesting the 26-year-old Moroccan international experienced heart palpitations, raising concerns about a potential long-term absence, told ESPN.
However, Manchester Evening News’ chief correspondent, Samuel Luckhurst, clarified the situation on Thursday, stating that Mazraoui had successfully undergone a minor corrective procedure. The operation was precautionary, and the club is confident that he will make a full recovery. Luckhurst noted that the condition is “relatively common,” reassuring fans and supporters about the player’s health.
Despite the concerns raised earlier, Manchester United expects Mazraoui to be back on the pitch within a few weeks. The club, however, has yet to issue an official statement regarding the player’s condition or the specifics of his recovery timeline.
Mazraoui, who joined the Premier League giants from Bayern Munich after also impressing at Ajax, has become an integral part of Erik ten Hag’s squad. The Moroccan defender has featured in ten matches across all competitions this season, showcasing his versatility and adaptability. His temporary absence will be a challenge for United, but the club remains optimistic about his swift return to full fitness.
This news comes as Manchester United looks to manage their squad depth amid a packed schedule of domestic and international fixtures. Mazraoui’s recovery will be closely monitored by the club’s medical team to ensure he is back in action as soon as possible.
Fans of the Red Devils are eagerly awaiting further updates on Mazraoui’s condition, as his presence has been vital to the team’s performances. For now, Manchester United’s focus remains on maintaining momentum in their current campaign, with hopes that Mazraoui will rejoin the squad soon.
