This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) take on Olympique de Marseille (2nd) at the Parc des Princes for the 26th day of Ligue 1 2024-2025 (kick-off 8:45pm, UTC+1). This Thursday, L’Equipe reported that Marquinhos (PSG’s 30-year-old central defender and captain) is likely to miss the match.
“After coming off injured in second-half stoppage time, Marquinhos is doubtful for the Classico. Based on initial observations, there are no major concerns internally, but he could be spared.”
We remain cautious, not knowing to what extent the sports paper had indications or whether it was simply a deduction after Marquinhos’ exit. At least he didn’t seem seriously injured. Could it be an injury or just a case of fatigue, given the intensity of the match? In any case, there’s nothing to worry about. It would make sense for the staff to be cautious this Sunday, just before the international break and at the end of a fine run of intense matches.
