Bruno Genesio provides Igor Paixao injury update | OneFootball

Igor Paixao could face a spell out after limping off during Olympique de Marseille’s 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, with Bruno Genesio saying he had no update yet but it looked like an ankle issue.

He went down in the first half of the Classique at the Vélodrome and was replaced by Angel Gomes. According to GetFootballNewsFrance.com, Marseille fought to keep the 26-year-old over the summer despite ownership exploring a late-window sale amid talks with Sunderland.

Even a sale would not have enabled recruitment, and after high-profile departures and no incomings he became the side’s standout figure.

Genesio and CEO Stéphane Richard appealed to keep him and succeeded, though Paixao has struggled at the start of the season.

Initial concern centred on his knee.
