In a sudden twist of fate for PSG fans, the club finds itself grappling with a significant setback. Just days before their crucial clash against Ligue 1 rivals Monaco, devastating news came in their footsteps. A teammate of Kylian Mbappe and PSG’s star player has suffered a terrible injury on international duty, leaving the Parisians worried about upcoming clashes.

The player revealed the severity of his injury and admitted that he’ll be missing games for his club. Let’s delve deeper and discover this latest unexpected setback for PSG.

Kylian Mbappe-led PSG suffers a crucial blow

The Brazilian stalwart and PSG’s captain, Marquinhos, led the Selecao in the absence of Casemiro against Argentina. In a crucial match at Maracana, Brazil’s manager, Fernando Diniz, substituted Marquinhos at halftime. He suffered a hamstring injury during the intense encounter against Messi’s Argentina. The post-match interview added to the suspense surrounding his condition, as PSG’s captain expressed concerns about his ability to contribute to his club’s efforts against Monaco.

After the match, Marquinhos stated, “I felt my hamstring in action. It hurt, so I went off. I had an initial examination in the dressing room but it still hurt when I stretched (my leg). For Friday (with PSG against Monaco), it’s very complicated. I hope it’s not serious and that I’ll be able to come back as soon as possible.”

The anticipation among fans is palpable as they await further updates on the extent of Marquinhos’ injury. The crucial question arises: How will Luis Enrique’s PSG overcome this unforeseen obstacle in their path? With critical clashes against Monaco and Newcastle United up next, the Brazilian’s absence will surely be felt.

Marquinhos determined to overcome recent setbacks

Marquinhos is a vital pillar in PSG’s defense and has played a pivotal role in their recent conquests. His absence could disrupt the coordination in the defensive sector in the upcoming games. However, the Brazilian defender remains steadfast in his assessment and vows to return stronger.

“People are influenced by results. And, indeed, they’re not as good, either with Brazil or with PSG. But, frankly, I think I’ve done well since the start of the season. Anyone can make mistakes, it happened to me, but at the moment, I feel good. I’m working and I’m continuing to progress,” Marquinhos claimed.

All eyes will be on Kylian Mbappe when PSG host rivals Monaco at Parc des Princes in Paris on November 25.
