FC Bayern will have to do without Noussair Mazraoui for a long time. As the ‘Bild’ reports, the Moroccan national player caught a corona disease on vacation after the World Cup, which resulted in an inflammation of the pericardium.
Mazraoui has now been ordered to rest completely, the right-back will not be available to the German record champions for at least four to six weeks. During the first half of the season, Mazraoui had earned a regular place in Julian Nagelsmann’s team.
The 25-year-old was also seeded at the World Cup, where the North Africans sensationally finished fourth. In Morocco’s side, Mazraoui played at left-back – a model that was now also being considered at Bayern. According to ‘Bild’, the current absence accelerated yesterday’s transfer of Daley Blind (32).
Multiple candidates targeted
Regardless of Mazraoui’s absence, there will probably be something going on at right-back in Munich. Benjamin Pavard (26) could make the departure after the season, and Bayern have Axel Disasi (24/AS Monaco) in their sights as a possible replacement – but both feel more comfortable in central defence.
interest persists FT-Information also to Malo Gusto (19 / Olympique Lyon). Munich’s ‘tz’ also mentions Denzel Dumfries (26/Inter Milan) as an option. However, the Dutch international would only be available for a high fee and is also an issue at Chelsea and Manchester United.
