Marcao - Injured yet again Marcao was forced off due to injury during Wednesday's Champions League clash with Manchester City. Impact Marcao was unable to carry on during Wednesday's match and came off just before halftime. Nemanja Gudelj was brought on to replace Marcao in central defense. Gudelj could see a larger role during the final two matches before the World Cup break if Marcao is unable to return to the pitch, with Tianguy Nianzou (quad) also dealing with a long-term injury. Marcao's first chance to return would be a Sunday trip to Betis, an important derby matchup requiring more veteran leadership on the pitch.
