Igor Paixao back in Marseille training after injury scare | OneFootball

According to GetFootballNewsFrance.com, Igor Paixao has returned to first-team training with Olympique de Marseille, easing fears of a serious setback from Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

He was withdrawn in the first half, replaced by Angel Gomes, who later scored for OM.

Post-match, Bruno Genesio indicated it was an ankle problem, while L’Équipe reported that the top of the fibula was affected after an awkward landing, with medical tests planned.

Paixao said on Instagram that he was not injured. Club footage on Wednesday showed him training as normal with his team-mates.

The winger, whom Genesio fought hard to keep over the summer, should be fit to face ESTAC Troyes on 11th October. Marseille then host Olympiacos in the UEFA Europa League four days later at the Vélodrome.
