Concern grows over Marquinhos ahead of Brazil v France | OneFootball

Marquinhos, the 31-year-old central defender and captain of Paris Saint-Germain, has been called up by Brazil for this March international break. He could therefore play against the France national team this Thursday in a friendly (kick-off 9pm). Except that he is doubtful. After cutting short training on Monday with the Seleção, he was absent this Tuesday, according to Globoesporte.

It is hard to believe Marquinhos will take part in this “clash.” It is only a friendly, but it is also a very high-level match. It would seem quite crazy to take a risk for a game that is not official. Perhaps the defender will return to training this Wednesday, which would leave some doubt. But the Seleção has a strong squad and can easily trust other players. That is certainly the hope for PSG, who are counting on their captain for the end of the season.
