PSG’s communication regarding Marquinhos’ state of health leaves no indication of the Brazilian defender and captain’s return to competition period.
It will be a month tomorrow, Sunday, that Marquinhos last played in official competition with Paris Saint-Germain. On February 17 in Nantes (22nd day of Ligue 1), during the 2-0 victory of the French champions, the captain of the capital club left the field in the 70th minute. He was complaining about his left leg. The misdiagnosis revealed something more serious. During the medical updates published before each meeting on its platforms, the PSG communications department indicated a problem with the Achilles tendon.
Then we went from “ pain ” has ” persistent pain“, which may fuel real concerns about the almost 30-year-old Brazilian captain (May 14). When will he return to the field? This Saturday, on the eve of the trip to Montpellier (26th day), we can read that “ Marquinhos treats Achilles tendon pain. » We are no better off. So, we rely on the statements of the Brazil coach.
The future is Berlado
Marquinhos will be absent from the international break due to injury, Dorival Júnior said on Monday, after including him in a list of 26 players on March 1 for the friendly matches against England at Wembley on March 23 and Spain at the Santiago Bernabéu, three days later.
The PSG captain could therefore not be operational, at best, before the trip to Marseille on March 31 (27th day of Ligue 1). If that were the case, would coach Luis Enrique take the risk of starting a player who has been lacking competition for five weeks? Until now, Beraldo, Danilo Pereira or Lucas Hernandez have acted as the hinge without too much damage.
