PSG are taking a cautious approach with Marquinhos. The Parisian captain is indeed part of the trip to Qatar for the Intercontinental Cup final, but his physical condition is raising serious concerns within Luis Enrique’s staff.
Just back from an adductor scare, the Brazilian defender remains fragile. With the winter break approaching, the accumulation of minor physical issues is starting to worry the club internally. According to Le Parisien, vigilance is at its highest and no unnecessary risks will be taken.
Captaincy Uncertainty and Defensive Alternatives
Even though he has been named in the squad, his place in the starting eleven is far from guaranteed. The staff are weighing the risk of a relapse, and a withdrawal against Flamengo cannot be ruled out.
With Achraf Hakimi also absent, Vitinha could inherit the captain’s armband if Marquinhos does not play. In central defense, Illia Zabarnyi appears to be the preferred option, a sign that PSG are preparing for every possible scenario.
