Marquinhos hopes to be up against Borussia Dortmund. - FRANCOIS NASCIMBENI / AFP

Less than a month from C1's 8th final in Dortmund, the Brazilian defender of PSG Marquinhos came out on injury Wednesday during the success in the League Cup in Reims (3-0), but "it's not too much serious, "said his coach Thomas Tuchel. "He felt something in the hamstrings, that's why he preferred to go out. It is not too serious but it is really a shame. We absolutely need Marquinhos, he is a key player for us, "said the German technician after the meeting.

The Brazilian, who wore the captain's armband at the Auguste-Delaune stadium, asked to be replaced in the 69th minute. Marquinhos, who extended his contract at PSG until 2024 last week, had previously opened the score (9th), achieving a solid performance in the area of ​​Paris defense. The second big fright of the evening occurred when Marshall Munetsi tackled dangerously Marco Verratti (74th). Excluded on the field, the Rémois however touched the ankle of the Italian, forced to also be replaced.

"He is in a lot of pain but we have to wait until tomorrow (Thursday) to talk more about it" and find out more, said Tuchel. These injuries, if they were to keep the two Parisian executives away from the field for several weeks, would be a heavy blow for Paris, which must play its 8th final first leg in the Champions League on the lawn of Borussia Dortmund on February 18.
