Impact Marquinhos is set to reclaim his usual starting role in central defense after receiving a precautionary rest during Saturday's Ligue 1 encounter against Strasbourg. The PSG captain previously played the full 90 minutes in the 4-2 Champions League victory over Manchester City, recording 10 clearances, two blocks and two tackles. He has also started and completed every minute of his six Ligue 1 appearances this season, contributing three goals while remaining an undisputed starter in defense. His absence against Strasbourg was part of the coaching staff's workload management ahead of the important European fixture, rather than the result of an injury. With Marquinhos completing Monday's training session without restrictions, he should be fully available to lead PSG's back line against Barcelona on Tuesday.
