Sunderland target Igor Paixão out of Marseille trip to Monaco | OneFootball

Igor Paixão, a Sunderland target, will miss Marseille’s trip to Monaco on Sunday because of a thigh problem, manager Bruno Genesio confirmed.

According to GetFootballNewsFrance.com, the 26-year-old played through pain against Strasbourg and has not trained since, instead receiving treatment.

Despite links to the Black Cats at around €35m, the 59-year-old maintained the player is not for sale, while admitting he could lose one of the club’s best players with the window hours from closing.

Paixão started OM’s 4-0 win over RC Strasbourg Alsace last weekend and registered an assist.

Since arriving last summer, he has eight assists and 12 goals in 43 appearances across all competitions.
