Paris Saint-Germain announced in an official statement that captain Marquinhos will be sidelined for weeks after suffering a muscle injury in the recent Ligue 1 match against Marseille.
With this announcement, it is certain that the Brazilian international will miss the match against Barcelona scheduled for next Wednesday at Montjuïc Stadium in the second round of the Champions League.
Meanwhile, Ousmane Dembélé is expected to remain absent from PSG and miss the match against Barcelona due to the serious injury he sustained while playing for the French national team during the last international break.
As for the duo Desiree Doué and João Neves, there is a chance they will be available for the match, but a final decision has not been made. It is certain, however, that they will not participate in the upcoming match against Auxerre.
Finally, Paris Saint-Germain has recovered from their injury and will participate against Auxerre as well as Barcelona.
PSG had lost their last match 1-0 to Marseille, but this defeat passed unnoticed after Ousmane Dembélé won the Ballon d’Or on the same day, with Luis Enrique being named the best coach in the world, and the club itself being named the best men’s club.
