Paris Saint-Germain is not yet completely finished with its flamboyant year 2025. Before going to battle against Vendée Fontenay Foot (N3) on December 20 in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France, the winning club of the last Champions League faces its Brazilian counterpart Flamengo on Wednesday (6 p.m.) in the final of the Intercontinental Cup. Will Marquinhos be present?
On the eve of this meeting organized in Qatar, Luis Enrique presented himself at a press conference this Tuesday. The opportunity for him to discuss different subjects, including Marquinhos’ state of form. “He’s missing today’s session, but he’s ready. We will see his condition after the training session. We will decide tomorrow if he is there for the start of the match or not. »
Released during the break on December 10 during the Champions League match against Athletic Bilbao (0-0), the Brazilian defender was not called up three days later for the Ligue 1 match won on the pitch at FC Metz (2-3). The player’s small muscle problem is not serious, however, and he could therefore play in Qatar on Wednesday.
A welcome rest for Marquinhos and PSG
One thing is certain, however, Luis Enrique will not take any risks if the slightest doubt persists as to Marquinhos’ ability to compete in the match. The Parisian coach also spoke of the fatigue which has impacted his troops since the start of the season, with an accumulation of injuries, varying or less serious, among everyone.
“The break and the family vacation will be good. We have to take advantage of it before 2026 because the important moments will arrive in all competitions. »
PSG will have to fight to try to retain all of their titles acquired last season. No easy feat.
