A doctor has explained the reason behind Michael Jordan's 'yellow eyes' following concerns from fans after his appearance at Monaco vs Barcelona.

Jordan was a surprise guest for the Champions League opener in the principality as Barcelona lost 2-1 in one of the only real shocks in the first round of fixtures.

The now 61-year-old won the NBA title on six occasions, was crowned the MVP in the NBA Finals another six times, and was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player five times throughout his career.

The former Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards star became such a big name he transcended the boundaries of sport and became the face of one of the most popular Nike shoes of all time.

During his appearance at the football fans became concerned after noticing a yellow pigment in the NBA star's eyes.

This issue was also brought up by fans during Jordan's Netflix documentary 'The Last Dance' but luckily a Physician on Reddit has set the record straight.

They wrote: "His eyes are "anicteric" (meaning, not jaundiced). His eyes are what we call as having a "dirty" or "muddy" sclera. It may appear yellow to the untrained eye, but in an outright jaundiced eye, the distribution of the yellowish color is very homogenous.

"In Michael's eyes in the Last Dance, not only did I not see much yellow, but there were significant "splotches" and areas that remained white. So there - no big deal. A "muddy" sclera is a normal variation that's commonly associated with aging."

Doctor Robin Pene also confirmed there was nothing to worry about in his online blog.

"As long as he gets them checked from time to time, the NBA great’s eyes are safe and sound," he confirmed.

"Pigmented lesions are areas of abnormal coloration that are familiar to anyone with moles or age spots, and a few different types can occur in the conjunctiva."
