Marquinhos, the 31-year-old defender and captain of Paris Saint-Germain, was substituted at halftime during PSG’s 0-0 draw against Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday evening (Champions League Matchday 6). The Brazilian gave an update in the mixed zone, and it wasn’t good news.
“Marquinhos, speaking to reporters in the mixed zone, said he came off due to adductor pain.”
The defender took a heavy blow above his ankle in the first half, so it was initially thought he was being substituted due to that incident. But it’s clearly a muscular injury, which is quite worrying.
Marquinhos isn’t just suffering from a knock; his absence could be prolonged. However, there’s still hope for good news, with the pain being minor. Further tests will likely be necessary.
