Marquinhos is sidelined with a quadriceps injury and is expected to miss the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Doué, Dembélé, and João Neves are continuing their recovery, PSG’s medical team confirmed.
“Marquinhos felt pain in the later stages of the game vs Marseille,” PSG manager Luis Enrique said. “It’s nothing serious, but we need to be cautious, we don’t want to take any risks. It’s a shame because he’s our captain.”
Meanwhile, Barça goalkeeper Joan García will be sidelined for four to six weeks as he undergoes arthroscopy, ruling him out of the upcoming clash with PSG, per Fabrizio Romano.
Injuries continue to mount for both sides ahead of their upcoming clash. Romano also reported that Raphinha suffered a new injury on Thursday and is expected to be out for roughly three weeks, ruling him out of Barcelona’s match against PSG.
Furthermore, PSG are carefully managing its squads. Le Parisien notes that Bradley Barcola and João Neves will travel to Barcelona and could see playing time against Auxerre.
The report also highlights positive news for Doué, who is making strong progress in his recovery. He has resumed running on a specialized machine, raising hopes that he might at least be available on the bench at Montjuïc next week.
