Paris, France: In a significant setback for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), their captain Marquinhos is set to miss both the crucial league encounter against Monaco and the upcoming Champions League clash with Newcastle United.

The Ligue 1 powerhouse confirmed the unfortunate news on Thursday, revealing that Marquinhos will be sidelined for approximately 10 days as he undergoes treatment for a minor injury to his right hamstring.
The injury not only leaves PSG without a key defensive figure for their domestic campaign but also places a question mark over their defensive lineup in the highly anticipated Champions League fixture.
Marquinhos, known for his leadership qualities and defensive prowess, played a crucial role in Brazil’s campaign during the World Cup qualifiers.
However, his early exit from the match against Argentina has left PSG fans and management concerned about the impact on their upcoming fixtures.
The Brazilian center-back’s absence will be notably felt in the league clash against Monaco, a team that has consistently challenged PSG’s dominance in French football.
Without their captain marshaling the defense, PSG will need to rely on alternative options to secure a positive result in the domestic competition.
Furthermore, Marquinhos’ unavailability for the Champions League match against Newcastle United adds another layer of complexity for PSG.
The defender’s experience in high-stakes European encounters has been crucial for the club in the past, and his absence might force the manager to reevaluate the team’s defensive strategy against a formidable opponent like Newcastle United.
As PSG aims to advance further in both domestic and international competitions, the injury to their captain underscores the unpredictable nature of football and the challenges that top-tier clubs face in managing player fitness during a packed schedule.
The club’s medical team will undoubtedly be working tirelessly to ensure Marquinhos recovers swiftly and returns to action at full strength.
Meanwhile, the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the coaching staff to devise a tactical approach that compensates for the absence of their influential captain.
In the coming days, PSG fans will anxiously await updates on Marquinhos’ recovery progress, hoping for a swift return to the pitch.
As the team navigates through this challenging period, the depth of their squad will be put to the test, emphasizing the importance of having a resilient and adaptable roster in the highly competitive world of football.
