MANCHESTER UNITED DEFENDER Noussair Mazraoui will be sidelined for a number of weeks having undergone a medical procedure after suffering heart palpitations.
Club sources have played down the seriousness, insisting it is a precautionary, minor corrective procedure to rectify a relatively common condition.
Mazraoui has suffered heart issues previously – after testing positive for Covid during the 2022 World Cup he was diagnosed with a mild inflammation of the pericardium (the membrane surrounding the heart) a month later – but the PA news agency understands there was no suggestion of an emergency situation ahead of this latest procedure.
United have not put a timescale on his return and expect him to be available for selection “in the next few weeks”.
