Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof is recovering well after suffering from breathing difficulties, with the club reporting that the issues are not believed to be linked to the club’s recent Covid-19 outbreak.
Sweden international Lindelof, 27, started alongside captain Harry Maguire in central defence for Saturday evening’s 1-0 Premier League win against Norwich, but was replaced by Eric Bailly 16 minutes from time at Carrow Road after experiencing difficulty breathing.
United have since experienced a coronavirus outbreak, with multiple positive tests leading to the postponement of Tuesday’s away trip to Brentford.
However, the club insist that such issues are separate, with Lindelof undergoing tests to determine the cause of his problem.
“Victor is currently undergoing a series of precautionary investigations,” United said in a statement. “However, he has recovered well from the episode he experienced in the match against Norwich.
“All indications are that this is not linked to any Covid outbreak within the club.”
