Paris Saint-Germain will have to do without an important framework for its upcoming games.
Despite frequent and committed rotation, Luis Enrique must deplore a certain number of physical glitches this season. The defensive sector of Paris Saint-Germain is particularly affected by injuries.
After Milan Skriniar and Presnel Kimpembe – long-term absentees who are not expected to play again for several months – an even more influential element in the squad could join the infirmary for longer than expected: Marquinhos. Already out against Rennes (1-1), Monaco (0-0), Real Sociedad (2-1) and Reims (2-2), the Brazilian international will miss a fifth match in a row since he will be absent for the Coupe de France quarter-final against Nice, scheduled for this Wednesday (9:10 p.m.).
PSG: another major absence
But Marquinhos’ Achilles tendon injury is causing real concern. As expected, Paris Saint-Germain confirmed the absence of its captain in the medium term. Marquinhos will no longer set foot on the pitch before the end of March, in the best case scenario. “ Marquinhos is treating Achilles tendon pain. He will be unavailable until the international break“, we can read in the club’s medical point.
Concretely, Marquinhos, who will therefore miss the PSG match in Montpellier this Sunday (8:45 p.m.), hopes to be operational for the Classic against Olympique de Marseille upon returning from this international break, on March 31. Without the Brazilian, Luis Enrique could continue to install the Lucas Hernandez-Beraldo hinge. Although both defenders are left-handed, their ball-playing personality allowed them to score points against Real Sociedad (2-1).
