Marquinhos will miss Paris Saint-Germain’s Ligue 1 home clash against Saint-Etienne on Sunday after sustaining a thigh injury.
The Brazilian has made 13 league appearances for PSG this season and has also featured in all six of their Champions League fixtures as well.
In Ligue 1, he has made the second-most blocks (six), while he has also won 12 of 18 tackles he has attempted in the competition.
PSG confirmed on Saturday that Marquinhos is still struggling with an adductor injury he sustained during their 1-0 win over Monaco in the Trophee des Champions last week.
“Marquinhos will not be able to play,” Luis Enrique told reporters on Saturday.
PSG face a busy run of six fixtures in January, including tough clashes against Stuttgart away and Manchester City at home in the Champions League. They face Lens and Reims in Ligue 1 after Saint-Etienne.
PSG have won just one of their last five Ligue 1 matches to open a calendar year (D3 L1), but that victory came last year at Lens (2-0 in January 2024). Their next win will mark Luis Enrique’s 50th victory in charge of the club in all competitions.
They are 25th in the Champions League table, outside the playoff spots, after picking up just seven points from six games.
