Manchester United received a painful blow before the start of the English Premier League, after the Moroccan right -back Naseer Mazrawi suffered a sudden injury, which coach Robin Amorim put a major challenge before the upcoming summit against Arsenal.
Mazrawi injury details
Mazrawi felt pain before the Manchester United friendly match against West Ham, so that the medical staff decided to exclude him in order to preserve his safety. The Moroccan player was one of the main pillars in Amorim’s plans during the last season, as his roles varied between the back and the center and even the heart of the right defense in the defensive trio system.
Is Mazrawi absent from the confrontation of Arsenal?
According to the English website “Centredevils”, Manchester United will miss the efforts of Mazrawi in the first round of the Premier League against Arsenal. The club made it clear that the injury is slight and not worrying, but the player is currently undergoing a rehabilitation program and strengthening exercises at the “Carington” center after being exposed to it during the preparatory camp in the United States.
The importance of the role of Mazraoui in Amorim’s plans
Mazrawi is a flexible option for Ameim thanks to his ability to occupy more than one defensive center, which makes it an important tactical element, especially in the major confrontations that require tactical flexibility. His absence at the beginning of the season may push the coach to make changes in the defensive formation against Arsenal.
The date of the Manchester United match against Arsenal
The opening round of the English Premier League will be held between Manchester United and Arsenal on Sunday, August 17, at 18:30 Mecca time.
