Time for recovery for Marquinhos? It’s no. Hit in the calf during the victory in Nantes (0-2), the Brazilian captain of PSG has already missed Rennes (1-1), Monaco (0-0) and Real Sociedad (2-1 victory). He will be absent again for the Nice reception on Wednesday (9:10 p.m.), in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France, and on Sunday, in Montpellier during the 26th day of L1.
“Marquinhos is treating Achilles tendon pain. He will be unavailable until the international break,” the club said on Tuesday, without giving further details. Luis Enrique was not much more precise at the press conference. The Spanish coach, however, was reassuring in the long term: “I have no additional information to give. There is nothing very worrying or serious. He could have played with Danilo Pereira in San Sebastian (against Real Sociedad) but I preferred not to play him. When a player is not 100%, I prefer not to play him. It was Danilo Pereira who played. For Marquinhos, as long as he is not 100%, there is no reason to take any risks. But once again, nothing worrying or serious,” said “Lucho”.

Three other absentees in the Parisian ranks against the Aiglons, Marco Asensio (right hamstring) and of course Presnel Kimpembe and Milan Skriniar. Note that the latter “carries out recovery work on the ground individually”. Good news for the Slovak defender, even if Paris-SG is careful not to give a precise date for his return to play.
