Given bench role Marquinhos (undisclosed) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Real Sociedad.

Impact Marquinhos made his return to the team sheet as expected, ending his two-match absence due to an undisclosed issue. The defender is most likely lining up on the bench to be cautious, as the club will not want to risk the defense aggravating the injury again, especially when they have a 2-0 lead in aggregate and have solid options behind him to get the job done Tuesday. He still should earn time near the end of the match to test his legs or if the contest gets a little closer than the club would like. The Brazilian most likely will return to the starting XI in their next game, as he has only missed three starts when an option, being one of the world's best defenders.
