"The European champions confirmed on Friday that Marquinhos will miss several weeks after injuring his left thigh during Monday's 1-0 defeat at Marseille in Ligue 1. And that blow comes at a less-than-ideal time for PSG, who host Auxerre in the league on Saturday before travelling to Barcelona for a mammoth Champions League clash on Wednesday. Joao Neves, Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele are also sidelined and are continuing their rehabilitation, meaning they are unlikely to figure in either of those two matches."
"We prepare to manage everything that happens on the football field. I am not concerned. This is what happens at the top level. Have we planned all this? We try to predict all the things that will happen, but I'm not a soothsayer. I try to be sometimes before games, but I don't know when players will get injured. But I'm not concerned at all and it's a mentality that I try to convey to my players and the fans... calmness and tranquillity. We have a lot of players who can play."
Paris Saint-Germain face a stretched injury list with captain Marquinhos sidelined for several weeks after injuring his left thigh in the 1-0 defeat at Marseille. Joao Neves, Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele are also in rehabilitation and are unlikely to feature against Auxerre or Barcelona. PSG host Auxerre in Ligue 1 before travelling to Barcelona for a Champions League meeting. Luis Enrique emphasizes calmness, tranquillity and squad depth, stating the team must adapt and manage absences. Ousmane Dembele recently won the Ballon d'Or, reinforcing PSG's status and pride as a leading team.
