Manchester United's injury woes continue to mount as Noussair Mazraoui becomes the latest casualty in what has been a challenging season for Ruben Amorim's side. The defender was forced to exit the field in the 70th minute during United's recent 2-2 draw with Everton after sustaining a knock to his right knee.
According to ESPN, the Red Devils are now facing uncertainty over Mazraoui's availability for their upcoming Premier League fixture against Ipswich Town on Wednesday. The Morocco international is scheduled for medical tests on Monday to determine the severity of his injury, as the club's medical team works to assess his condition.
The timing of this setback is particularly concerning for United, who are already grappling with an extensive list of injured players. The team's medical room has become increasingly crowded with the absences of Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Lisandro Martinez, Toby Collyer, Altay Bayindir, and Jonny Evans. Adding to their troubles, both Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo joined the injury list last week with long-term issues.
Mazraoui's potential absence is especially significant given his importance to the team this season. The defender has been one of United's most relied-upon players, having accumulated the fourth-highest minutes in the squad, trailing only Andre Onana, Bruno Fernandes, and Diogo Dalot.
While the upcoming match against Ipswich Town on February 26 looms, Mazraoui's participation will depend entirely on the results of his medical tests and overall fitness assessment. However, sources suggest that manager Amorim might opt for a cautious approach and rest the defender regardless of the test results, prioritizing long-term availability over immediate needs.
