The PSG captain had to abandon the trip to Brest early Sunday afternoon due to adductor discomfort.

Winner Wednesday evening of an AC Milan well below its potential (3-0, 3rd day of the Champions League), Paris Saint-Germain will return to the Championship on Sunday. For this trip to Brest (kick-off at 1 p.m.), the French champions will play without their captain Marquinhos.

The Brazilian central defender was not selected in the group chosen by Luis Enrique due to adductor discomfort, unlike Ethan MbappĂ©, Kylian’s younger brother.

With Marquinhos absent at the Francis-le-Blé stadium, Danilo Pereira should join forces with Milan Skriniar to form the axis of the Parisian rearguard.
