At the end of the match against Argentina on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, Marquinhos was right to grimace. Coming out at half-time, the Brazilian confided that he felt pain in his hamstring. Returning this Thursday to Paris, the captain underwent initial examinations which confirmed a small lesion in his right thigh.

As a result, the central defender will remain in treatment for 10 days and will be out of PSG’s next three games against Monaco this Friday evening at the Parc des Princes but also for the visit of Newcastle next Tuesday and the trip to Le Havre (on 3 December at 1 p.m.).

After Warren Zaire-Emery withdrew until the winter break after a sprained right ankle during his first selection with the France team (14-0, November 18), it’s another hard blow for PSG who loses his captain before two important matches.

His absence should push Luis Enrique to align Danilo Pereira in the center. Also affected by his hamstrings, the Portuguese returned to collective training during the break and is at 100% of his capabilities. Unless Lucas Hernandez is installed in central defense and Mukiele plays on the left.
