Manchester United’s defender, Noussair Mazraoui, is facing a setback as he is reportedly set to be sidelined for two months due to a form of cardiac arrhythmia.
Noussair Mazraoui is scheduled to undergo surgery after experiencing palpitations, which led to a minor corrective procedure.
Fortunately, the precautionary procedure for this relatively common condition has been successful, and Mazraoui is expected to be available again in the next few weeks.
Cardiac arrhythmia, also known as an irregular heartbeat, can manifest as the heart beating too fast, too slow, or following an erratic rhythm.
According to the NHS, over 2 million people in the UK experience arrhythmias. However, with proper diagnosis and management, most individuals with abnormal heart rhythms can still lead normal lives.
Note that while it may not always be possible to prevent the onset of arrhythmias, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce the risk of developing heart-related conditions.
Mazraoui’s absence comes at a challenging time for Manchester United, as the team has had a tough start to the season, conceding ten goals in 11 matches.
Recall that Noussair Mazraoui joined Manchester United from Bayern Munich on August 13, 2024, for a transfer fee worth €15 million.
Since he arrived at the Old Trafford club, he has played 10 games in all competitions and provided one assist.
