Marcao - Page 2 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Won't play Wednesday Marcao (strain) will not be an option to face Lens on Wednesday and is still two weeks out from returning. Manager Jose Luis Mendilibar told reporters, "With Marcao we are going sl...

Impact Based on the manager's timeline, Marcao will miss at least the club's next four contests due to his muscular injury. Injuries limited the defender to just 11 appearances (nine starts) across La Liga and European competition last season in which he recorded just one shot (off target), to go with 24 clearances, eight interceptions and seven blocks. Given his extended absence, Marcao may have to settle for a spot on the bench once ready to play.

Training with ball Marcao (strain) was viewed back in training on Monday, ahead of Wednesday's clash against Lens.

Impact Marcao was pictured training with the ball at Monday's practice session. This is the first time we have seen the Brazilian in action this season after missing all four of Sevilla's opening matches. With him just returning to training, there is a good chance he won't be available for Wednesday's UCL group stage match, but he could be a part of the squad next Saturday against Osasuna if his healing goes according to plan.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Las Palmas Marcao (strain) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Las Palmas, head coach Jose Luis Mendilibar told the club's official website Friday. "Marcao will begin to train again...

Impact Marcao logged just 11 appearances last season and has yet to make his 2023/24 debut, though Mendilibar's words indicate he's still a week or two away from making a matchday squad. His next chance to feature will come against Osasuna on Sep. 23 in league play, as the Champions League match against Lens on Sep. 20 might prove too soon for him due to his lack of availability in training.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out through international break Marcao (strain) will not be available until after the September international break, the team announced Tuesday.

Impact Marcao was limited to a mere 11 appearances for the club last season but did feature in the starting XI in nine of those contests. As such, once cleared to return, the defender should be in contention to break into the starting XI, though he is far from a lock given the positional depth at the position.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in traveling squad Marcao (undisclosed) was not included in the 24-man squad ahead of Monday's clash with Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Marcao has yet to get onto the pitch for the club this season due to his lingering injury concerns. Even once cleared to play, the defender will likely serve primarily as a bench option, having made just 11 appearances for the club last season. When he does feature, Marcao is unlikely to offer much in the way of offensive upside.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Super Cup Marcao (undisclosed) is not in the traveling squad for Wednesday's Super Cup clash with Manchester city.

Impact Marcao is set to miss the second match of the season. The defender is dealing with an undisclosed issue and hasn't trained in any capacity. Marcao's next chance to return is an Aug. 21 trip to Depor, though that is unlikely.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for season opener Head coach Jose Luis Mendilibar said during his pre-match press conference Thursday that Marcao (undisclosed) won't play Friday against Valencia. "Marcao's return to the pitch isn'...

Impact It's unclear what kind of injury is affecting the defender, but his absence shouldn't be much of an issue from a fantasy perspective since he made just five appearances (four starts) during the 2022-23 campaign. His next chance to feature will come in a road matchup against Deportivo Alaves on Aug. 21.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Totals five appearances Marcao made five appearances (four starts) in La Liga during the 2022-23 season.

Impact Marcao was limited by muscular injuries throughout the entirety of the season and ended the season with just five domestic appearances. The defender is unlikely to take a major role even when fully fit with Loic Bade and Nemanja Gudelj likely ahead of him on the depth chart heading into 2023-24. Marcao totaled 13 clearances and six interceptions in 2022-23.

JUNE 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could return at weekend Marcao (thigh) was called up by Sevilla to face Real Madrid on Saturday.

Impact Marcao has been out for more than a month since suffering a thigh injury in April, but he should be available for selection in central defense against Real Madrid this weekend.

MAY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains unavailable versus Espnayol Marcao (thigh) will be out of the squad against Espanyol on Thursday.

Impact Marcao will be shelved for the fourth straight match due to his lingering thigh problem. Considering the defender has played in just three of the last 26 matches for the club, he probably shouldn't be expected to immediately feature in the starting XI even once cleared to return.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out against Girona Marcao (thigh) was not called up by Sevilla for Monday's clash against Girona.

Impact Marcao has been limited to just one La Liga appearance off the bench since October due to a thigh/quadriceps injury he initially suffered just before the World Cup break, and he's once again not available for Monday's match.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Villarreal Marcao (thigh) is not in Sevilla's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Villarreal.

Impact Marcao suffered a thigh injury in Thursday's Europa League win over Manchester United and is not available for selection in Sunday's La Liga match, with Tanguy Nianzou replacing him in the XI alongside Loic Bade in central defense.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off holding thigh Marcao (thigh) was forced off with an apparent thigh injury during the first half of Thursday's clash with Manchester United.

Impact Marcao went for a long clearance and went down immediately in major pain. The fact that there was nobody near him as well as the immediate pain both raise immediate concerns for a serious muscular injury. Suso came on to replace Marcao, with Nemanja Gudelj shifting back into the back-four. Marcao was making just his second start since coming back from a fourth-month absence due to a quadriceps injury and will be a major doubt for a Sunday match against Villarreal.

APRIL 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Celta Marcao (quadriceps) is in the initial squad list for Friday's clash with Celta Vigo.

Impact Marcao returns to the initial squad list after missing five months with a quadriceps issue. The defender has his first chance to return to the starting XI in what has been an injury marred campaign. Marcao started all seven matches he was fit and available for before this injury.

APRIL 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Marcao (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's trip to Cadiz, Sevilla announced Friday.

Impact Marcao remains on the sideline as he continues to make his way back from a quadriceps injury. The defender has been sidelined for more than three months and will need to return to training before beginning to contend for a spot in the first team once more.

MARCH 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out three months Marcao has re-injured his quadriceps and is expected to miss the next three months after undergoing surgery, his club have announced.

Impact Marcao struggled with multiple injuries since joining Sevilla and is now out long-term. It's unfortunate given how much better the defense looked when he played, though now reinforcements may be sought in the winter transfer window. Tanguy Nianzou, Kike Salas, Nemanja Gudelj and Karim Rekik will help to bolster the defense while Marcao is unavailable.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to training Marcao (quadriceps) was back out in training with Sevilla on Wednesday.

Impact Marcao missed the final few games before the World Cup break due to a quad injury he suffered at the beginning of November, but he's back on the training pitch now and will hope to be fully fit by the time La Liga play resumes in late December.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers muscular injury Marcao suffered a tear in his right thigh and will be out for the rest of 2022, his club announced Friday.

Impact Marcao offered a huge improvement to the defense when on the pitch but he didn't get fit until early October and only lasted seven matches while able to play. Nemanja Gudelj should continue as a center-back in his absence and both Marcao and Tanguy Nianzou (quadriceps) need to improve their fitness in 2023.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Considered major doubt for derby Marcao (quadriceps) is considered a big doubt to be fit for Sunday's derby at Betis, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Marcao picked up an injury in the first half of Wednesday's loss to Manchester City, his third different issue since joining Sevilla in the summer. As he's unlikely to play in the first city derby of the season, Nemanja Gudelj could be called into the back line once again.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Injured yet again Marcao was forced off due to injury during Wednesday's Champions League clash with Manchester City.

Impact Marcao was unable to carry on during Wednesday's match and came off just before halftime. Nemanja Gudelj was brought on to replace Marcao in central defense. Gudelj could see a larger role during the final two matches before the World Cup break if Marcao is unable to return to the pitch, with Tianguy Nianzou (quad) also dealing with a long-term injury. Marcao's first chance to return would be a Sunday trip to Betis, an important derby matchup requiring more veteran leadership on the pitch.

NOVEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Totals four clearances Marcao registered four clearances and three tackles (one won) in Tuesday's 3-0 victory against FC Copenhagen.

Impact Marcao was productive in the back with a season-high of clearances in the Champions League this season. He has only played in five games after missing the first 10 with a hamstring injury. The Brazilian has so far totaled 15 clearances, eight tackles (six won), and five interceptions in the campaign.

OCTOBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes squad list Marcao (undisclosed) made the squad list for Saturday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Marcao was trending in the right direction after skipping the midweek draw with Valencia. Whenever available, the defense looks far sturdier with Marcao as an option so expect him to start for an exceptionally tough matchup.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Saturday Marcao (knock) is expected to be fit for Saturday's match against Real Madrid, according to Alonso Rivero of MARCA.

Impact Marcao would be a major absence if he's not fit against the Champions as Tanguy Nianzou (quad) just went down with a month-long injury. Pending on the status of the Brazilian, Jose Angel Carmona and Nemanja Gudelj could get starts at center-back.

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Valencia Marcao is not available for Tuesday's clash against Valencia due to minor knocks, Sevilla announced before the game.

Impact Marcao missed the first two months of the season with a hamstring injury but he has returned to start Sevilla's last three games in all competitions. He's out on Tuesday due to a combination of minor issues and for rest as he continues working his way back to full fitness. Jose Angel Carmona is starting alongside Tanguy Nianzou in central defense against Valencia.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Mallorca Marcao is fit and in the starting XI to face Mallorca on Saturday.

Impact Marcao returns after dealing with a muscle strain in the buildup to the match. The centerback has made just one start on the season but should be a fixture in the heart of defense moving forward.
