On the eve of the Intercontinental Cup final against Flamengo, scheduled for Wednesday at 6 p.m., the Parisian coach made a highly anticipated announcement regarding his captain.
Sidelined with an adductor issue picked up during the Champions League match against Athletic Bilbao, Marquinhos is feeling better and has returned to training with the group. Good news just hours before a major fixture, even if uncertainty remains. Luis Enrique confirmed that the center-back is fit, while still leaving doubt over his presence at kickoff.
Uncertainty Over the Captain’s Starting Role
“Marquinhos is ready. There is one session left today, we’ll see how he feels. We’ll decide tomorrow whether he starts the match or not,” explained the Spanish coach, postponing his decision until the last moment.
While the outlook is clearly positive, nothing has been finalized yet for the Parisian captain, whose involvement will depend on his sensations after the final training session. The suspense is carefully maintained ahead of this final.
Aside from Achraf Hakimi, who remains unavailable, PSG should still line up with an almost full squad, hoping to be able to rely on Marquinhos in their pursuit of another trophy.
