Dealing with fitness issues Paixao (fitness) is dealing with physical issues and is a doubt for Tuesday's French Cup clash against Rennes, coach Roberto de Zerbi said in the press conference.

Impact Paixao was forced off in the 79th minute of Saturday's draw against Paris FC due to ongoing fitness issues he has been dealing with for several weeks, largely stemming from his recent positional switch. The Brazilian moved from an attacking midfield role to wing back during Emerson's absence (thigh), which has clearly taken a toll physically. Paixao is likely to be a late call ahead of Tuesday's clash against Rennes, but he may not be pushed for clearance with the Classico against Paris Saint-Germain coming up on Sunday.

Option against Club Brugge Paixao (undisclosed) is travelling with the squad for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge despite training apart on Tuesday, the club posted.

Impact Paixao was spotted training with a physio on the side during Tuesday's final training session ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge, but the forward was later seen with the team before travelling to Belgium, confirming he is an option for the game. That said, if he had to start on the bench due to fitness issues, Amir Murillo would be the one starting on the left flank in his spot.

Training apart Tuesday Paixao (undisclosed) was spotted training apart during the last training session ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge, according to La Minute OM.

Impact Paixao was spotted training on his own with a physio during the last training session ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge, suggesting the forward is dealing with an issue. The Brazilian will likely be a late call ahead of the game and if he has to miss the clash or start on the bench, Amir Murillo will likely start on the left flank against the Belgians.

Provides assist in new role Paixao assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Lens.

Impact Paixao set up Amine Gouiri's third minute opener against Lens, combining quickly before the Algerian clipped his finish over the keeper. He remained Marseille's most direct wide outlet, repeatedly carrying the ball into the final third and forcing Lens to defend deeper than they wanted. Paixao operated in a new role after starting as a true wing-back against Lens, putting in significant defensive work, contributing three tackles and three interceptions to cap off another solid shift from the Brazilian.

Finds back of net off bench Paixao scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 5-2 victory against Angers.

Impact Paixao entered the pitch around the hour mark and eventually put the game away in the 88th minute, finishing from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's pass to restore Marseille's four-goal lead. Paixao could have scored another goal earlier, but his shot came off close to the post. The late goal rewarded his lively cameo off the bench and ensured Marseille's dominance was properly reflected on the scoreboard. Paixao has been an undisputed starter for Marseille this season, contributing eight goals and two assists in 21 appearances, but he might see less playing time in the coming weeks since Hamed Traore is back from injury and performing well in that role for OM.

Impact Paixao was rested in the Coupe de France but is now fully an option for Saturday's clash against Angers. The forward is expected to resume his starting role on the left wing, although he might see some decreased playing time with the returns of Amine Gouiri and Hamed Traore from injuries.

Not available in Cup Paixao (undisclosed) trained indoors on Monday and isn't an option for Tuesday's clash against Bayeux in the French Cup, the club posted.

Impact Paixao is dealing with some issues as he didn't train with the team on Monday and is out from the match squad for Tuesday's clash against Bayeux in the French Cup. The Brazilian will likely be assessed ahead of Saturday's clash against Angers and if he had to miss some time, Hamed Traore will likely see a larger role for OM in the frontline, eventhough Amine Gouiri could also start on the left wing, letting Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starting as the number 9.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Scores equalizer in away victory Paixao scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 victory versus Union SG.

Impact Paixao levelled the match at 1-1 in the 15th minute, reacting first in the box and rifling a right-footed shot into the top left corner after Kjell Scherpen had saved Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's initial attempt. He later went close again from the left side of the area and continued to win free kicks in advanced zones as Union tried to push higher. The Brazilian was more active in the frontline and less in defense following the criticism from the fans that asked him to be more impactful in the attack as a dribbler and versatile winger. Paixao has scored three goals in his last five appearances across all competitions, highlighting his good form for OM.

Impact Paixao sealed the result in the derby with a goal in the 74th minute, finishing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's cut-back with precision and timing inside the box.

He attempted four shots, a season high, and created two chances. His influence has clearly grown in Marseille's attack although he couldn't find any goal contributions this time. The Brazilian has now started the last seven games across all competitions and looks to be the main man for coach Roberto de Zerbi in the frontline, similarly to Mason Greenwood on the other wing.

Impact Paixao scored the opening goal in the 14th minute after cutting inside and curling one into the top corner from the left wing outside the box. He looked lively and dangerous in bursts as he gave Marseille an early lead and momentum while contributing three shots along with season highs of two chances created and four tackles. However, his influence waned after Marseille went down a man just before half-time and Sporting increased their pressure.
