PSG blow! French giants confirm Marquinhos injury will rule defender out of Champions League clash with Newcastle

The centre-back had to be replaced by Nino at half-time after he complained of muscle discomfort during <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/brazil-player-ratings-vs-argentina-raphinha/blt2f0ab1ff4258d375" target="_blank">Brazil's recent 1-0 defeat to Argentina</a> in an ill-tempered 2026 World Cup qualifier. Marquinhos had admitted after the match that he felt a "strain on his hamstring" which forced him to come off. The defender returned to Paris on Thursday and after undergoing further tests the extent of the injury was ascertained.

WHAT HAPPENED?

PSG put out a <a href="https://www.psg.fr/equipes/equipe-premiere/content/point-medical-paris-saint-germain-as-monaco-ligue-1-2023-2024" target="_blank">statement</a> that read: "Victim of a small injury to his right hamstring, Marquinhos will remain in treatment for 10 days."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">📌 The medical update before <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PSGASM?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PSGASM</a>.<a href="https://twitter.com/Aspetar?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Aspetar</a> 🔗 <a href="https://t.co/b9uy26lcUY">https://t.co/b9uy26lcUY</a> <a href="https://t.co/56pHizObL0">pic.twitter.com/56pHizObL0</a>— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) <a href="https://twitter.com/PSG_English/status/1727716725813137702?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 23, 2023</a></blockquote>

WHAT PSG SAID ABOUT MARQUINHOS

PSG find themselves in a spot of bother as they face Monaco at Parc des Princes on Friday night before hosting Newcastle on Tuesday evening. They will also miss <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/injury-psg-warren-zaire-emery-ankle-injury-france-debut/bltab2667813f169d32" target="_blank">Warren Zaire-Emery with an ankle injury</a> and the midfielder is not expected to be back until 2024. However, Presnel Kimpembe has been training with the group and is nearing recovery which should relieve manager Luis Enrique.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

PSG can hardly afford to drop their guard against Monaco as Adi Hutter's men are just three points behind the league leaders and have the potential to cause an upset in Paris. Whereas, the Magpies will be out to get a win to revive their European fortunes after two consecutive defeats. Eddie Howe knows that another loss could virtually put them out of contention for a spot in the knockouts and will be eager to repeat their heroics on foreign soil after they beat the Parisians 4-1 at St. James Park earlier in the season.
