Morocco head coach Walid Regragui is hopeful that Noussair Mazraoui will be available for selection during the November international break, suggesting that the Manchester United defender will return to action for his club over the next month.
Last week, Man United revealed that the right-back would be unavailable for "the next few weeks", having undergone a minor heart procedure.
"This is a relatively common condition and Noussair is expected to make a full recovery and be available for selection within the next few weeks," Sky Sports News quoted a Man United source as saying.
There are allegedly no concerns when it comes to the 26-year-old's long-term health, and Morocco head coach Regragui is hopeful that the defender will be available for the country's November fixtures.
"Noussair Mazraoui is not suffering from a dangerous illness," said Regragui when questioned on the full-back. "We hope he will be with us in the next camp in November."
Mazraoui will be missing Morocco's October fixtures against the Central African Republic, but he could be available for the clashes with Gabon and Lesotho in November.

Mazraoui could be back for Man United and Morocco in November
The defender arrived at Old Trafford from Bayern Munich over the summer, and he has been a key player for the Red Devils this season, making 10 appearances in all competitions.
Mazraoui was substituted at the interval of Man United's Premier League clash with Aston Villa last weekend, with an injury initially thought to have been the reason for his withdrawal.
The right-back started his career with Ajax in 2017, featuring 137 times for the club in all competitions, before making the move to Bayern in 2022, and he turned out for the German side on 55 occasions.
Mazraoui is set to be missing for Man United's next four games against Brentford, Fenerbahce, West Ham United and Leicester City before the end of the month.
However, there is a slight chance that he could be back for the Premier League contest with Chelsea on November 3, or the Europa League game against PAOK four days later.
Man United's final match ahead of the November international break will come against Leicester on November 10.
