Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos has been ruled out with a thigh injury, adding to the European champions’ growing list of high-profile absentees, the club confirmed on Friday.
The 31-year-old Brazilian defender “will undergo treatment on a left thigh injury over the next few weeks,” PSG announced in a statement.
His setback comes on the heels of injuries to Joao Neves, Desire Doue, and Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé, further complicating Luis Enrique’s selection options.
PSG did not reveal when Marquinhos sustained the problem. The centre-back featured for the full 90 minutes in Monday’s 1-0 defeat to arch-rivals Marseille, a match in which he unfortunately scored an own goal.
When contacted by AFP, the club declined to provide further details.
There was some positive news, however, with Bradley Barcola returning to training on Friday after missing the Marseille clash due to thigh muscle fatigue. He is in contention for PSG’s upcoming Ligue 1 fixture against Auxerre this weekend.
PSG then host Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday, before travelling to Lille for a league encounter on October 5.
