Noussair Mazraoui, the Manchester United defender, has undergone a minor heart procedure after experiencing palpitations, and with that, he is expected to miss a few weeks of action. Notably, Mazraoui was substituted at half-time during Manchester United’s Premier League draw against Aston Villa at the Villa Park last weekend, and following that, he was pulled out of the Morocco squad for the next round of international matches after complaining about heart palpitations.
After being signed by Manchester United from Bayern Munich for an initial fee of £12.8m in the summer, Noussair Mazraoui has been quite impressive for the English club in the full-back role. Although he is yet to score for Manchester United after seven appearances in 10 matches in all competitions, his impact can’t be understated especially with the injury concerns to other players as far as his position on the pitch is concerned.
Noussair Mazraoui is expected to miss a few weeks of action while he makes a full recovery
Due to the minor heart procedure, Noussair Mazraoui is expected to miss a few weeks of action while he makes a full recovery. In January of 2023, the Moroccan player had to take some time away from football to deal with heart tissue inflammation after suffering from Covid-19 during his Bayern Munich days, which led to him resuming training just one month later, but his return to competitive action was delayed until March.
As per the report from ESPN, the Manchester United sources have spoken to them about how Noussair Mazraoui’s condition is “relatively common,” while the procedure on his heart was “minor.” At the same time, they also made a clarification that the situation isn’t an emergency, while stating that the Moroccan player is expected to make a full recovery.
