Star Villanova Freshman Mouphtaou Yarou Expected To Miss The Season

Jeff Goodman of FoxSports.com reports that the mysterious non-life-threatening illness that will likely sideline highly touted Villanova freshman Mouphatou Yarou for the season is Heptatitis B.

Goodman says that there is “no timetable” for Yarou’s return this season.

According to Jeff Goodman at FoxSports.com, Villanova’s star freshman Mouphatou Yarou has contracted a non-life-threatening disease that will force him to miss the rest of this season for Villanova:

He first contracted the disease while Villanova was playing in a preseason tournament in San Juan, after which he was sent home to undergo a battery of medical tests. It’s unclear what, exactly, Yarou might be dealing with or whether it may be career threatening, but at the very least, we can take solace knowing it’s reportedly not life-threatening.
