PSG's Marquinhos uncertain for Champions League clash with Real Sociedad

Paris Saint-Germain faces uncertainty ahead of their Champions League round of 16 match against Real Sociedad in San Sebastián as their captain, Marquinhos, remains doubtful.

During the match against FC Nantes on February 17th, Marquinhos had to be substituted by Lucas Beraldo in the 69th minute due to a calf injury. Since then, the Brazilian has been questionable for subsequent matches, including the upcoming one against Stade Rennais.

The physical condition of Marquinhos is causing concern for PSG's coaching staff, especially with only two days left before the match against AS Monaco and a week before the clash with Real Sociedad. According to reports from L'Equipe, the defender has not participated in training with the rest of the team, and his calf injury persists.
