Alex will be absent from the highly anticipated match between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Monaco on the upcoming Sunday due to an injury in his right thigh. The central defender sustained the injury during training a week ago.
In Alex’s absence, Marquinhos is set to make his comeback and is likely to start in central defense alongside Thiago Silva, replicating their partnership seen in the recent Champions League match against Olympiakos.
As a surprise inclusion in the Parisian group for the match, young striker Hervin Ongenda, who was trained at the club, has been noted. The PSG squad for the match is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Sirigu, Douchez
Defenders: Camara, Digne, Jallet, Marquinhos, Maxwell, Silva, Van der Wiel
Midfield: Matuidi, Lucas, Ménez, Motta, Verratti, Pastore, Rabiot
Attackers: Cavani, Ibrahimovic, Lavezzi, Ongenda
The absence of Alex presents an opportunity for others to step up, and fans will be eager to see how Marquinhos and the rest of the team perform in this highly anticipated match against Monaco.
