Misses squad list Marquinhos (quadriceps) ultimately doesn't make the squad list for Friday's clash against Strasbourg, the club posted.

Impact Marquinhos resumed team training on Thursday, rising hope about a potential presence of the captain for Friday's clash against Strasbourg, although a few days earlier he was reportedly needing more time to be back to his full fitness. Ultimately, he doesn't make the squad for the game and will hope to be back available for Tuesday's clash against Leverkusen in the Champions League on Tuesday. Illia Zabarnyi is expected to start in his place against the Racing.

Could be available Friday Marquinhos (quadriceps) was expected to miss more time but trained with the team on Thursday and could be available for Friday's clash against Strasbourg, according to ParisTeamFr.

Impact Marquinhos is dealing with a quadriceps injury and was reportedly going to be eased back by the medical staff to make sure he is 100% fit. That said, the PSG's captain trained fully with the team on Thursday and the club didn't mention him in the injury report, suggesting he could make the squad for Friday's clash against the Racing. Marquinhos will unlikely make the starting XI even if available with an important fixture coming on Tuesday against Leverkusen in the Champions League.

Should miss more time Marquinhos (quadriceps) is expected to miss more time than initially anticipated to recover from his injury, according to Loic Tanzi from L'Equipe.

Impact Marquinhos was expected to miss two to three weeks due to a quadriceps injury, but his recovery will likely take a bit more time since the club does not want to rush him and wants him to be 100% fit before returning. The PSG captain will miss Friday's clash against Strasbourg and could also fail to make the squad for the Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen next week. Illia Zabarnyi will likely be the one replacing him until he returns.

Impact Marquinhos returned to the team after being an unused substitute in the previous two games and needed just three minutes to make an impact as he opened the scoring by slotting home a pass from the left side of the box. A center-back known for scoring a lot of goals, Marquinhos was relatively quiet in this aspect over the last few years but, even if this goal wasn't a sign of more to come this season, he's still productive enough on the defensive end to receive fantasy consideration.

Stalwart season in defense Marquinhos started in 19 of his 22 appearances while notching two goals on eight shots in Ligue 1.

Impact Marquinhos was back with PSG for a 12th season this campaign and finally reached the goal he was brought into the club for by winning a UCL final. That said, he would still see a starting role and was a mainstay per usual, missing a few matches here and there, but mainly in the starting XI. He remains on contract for a few more seasons and should continue in a starting role, although his best years are likely closing as he is now 31.
