Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has confirmed that their captain, Marquinhos, will miss the upcoming UEFA Champions League fixture against Newcastle United due to a hamstring injury. This news comes as a blow to the team, as they are currently second in their group, trailing behind leaders Borussia Dortmund by one point.
Marquinhos, who suffered the injury while on international duty with Brazil, is expected to be sidelined for 10 days, causing him to miss crucial matches against AS Monaco, Newcastle, and Le Havre AC. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by the team, as he has been a key player for PSG, providing stability and leadership in defense.
With Marquinhos out of action, Danilo Pereira is expected to step up and fill the void in the upcoming fixture. However, the team will also be eagerly anticipating the return of Presnel Kimpembe, who is nearing a comeback but will not be fit enough to face Newcastle.
Despite the setback, Marquinhos remains optimistic about his recovery and aims to make a return to the pitch against FC Nantes or Borussia Dortmund in December. His determination and commitment to getting back to full fitness will be crucial for PSG as they continue their campaign in both domestic and European competitions.
As PSG prepares for the upcoming match against Newcastle, the absence of Marquinhos serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of sports and the challenges that teams must overcome. With the support of their fans and the resilience of the squad, PSG will look to navigate through this setback and continue their pursuit of success in the UEFA Champions League.
