Mazraoui, who joined United from Bayern Munich in the summer, was forced off at halftime and subsequently withdrew from Morocco's squad for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against the Central African Republic. According to reports, Mazraoui underwent a minor precautionary procedure to correct the issue.
This is not Mazraoui's first experience with heart-related issues. In January 2023, he was diagnosed with an inflammation of the heart tissue, known as pericardium inflammation, after contracting Covid-19 at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The condition kept him sidelined for six weeks.
Mazraoui's latest setback will keep him out of action for at least a month, with United set to face Brentford at Old Trafford on October 19 without their talented right-back. United's defensive options have taken a further hit, as Harry Maguire also suffered an injury in the same match and will be out for several weeks.
"Frustrated to pick up an injury at the weekend," Maguire wrote on Instagram. "Will be a few weeks on the sideline for me but I'll come back stronger."
Mazraoui's absence will not only impact United but also Morocco's Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The Morocco international has been a key player for his country, and his absence will be felt in their upcoming matches.
United's medical staff will closely monitor Mazraoui's recovery, ensuring his heart condition does not pose long-term risks to his health and career. The Red Devils will hope for a successful recovery and return to action for their talented defender.
