31-year-old had undergone surgery on Wednesday morning in Turin by the club’s cardiologist Fiorenzo Gaita.

“After a short period of convalescence (Khedira) will be able to resume his activity approximately within one month,” it added.

Khedira went for treatment after feeling his heart rate suddenly speed up in training on Tuesday. The condition causes an irregular and fast heart rate and can result in dizziness, shortness of breath

and tiredness.

HERRERA HAPPY TO DO THE HARD YARDS

MANCHESTER: Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic have been working overtime in the Manchester United of late but the duo are content to carry the load if it lets the attacking players focus on scoring goals, Herrera has said.

“I said to the manager we are running a lot at the moment to make our forwards enjoy it,” Herrera said.

“Sometimes it’s hard for us but as long as they score goals and as long as they make our fans enjoy the games we’ll continue doing that... we’ll probably need a long holiday afterwards.”
