Ruled out for Auxerre match Marquinhos is dealing with a muscle discomfort and is ruled out for Sunday's match versus Auxerre.
Impact Marquinhos' issue isn't too serious and he's mostly rested here rather than dealing with a big injury and his status for the World Cup doesn't appear to be under a threat. Presnel Kimpembe is back though he likely won't be ready for a start and Parisians may have to revert to four-man back line with Sergio Ramos and Danilo anchoring the back-line or Nordi Mukiele may also be helping at center-back.

Impact With a three-man back line this time around Marquinhos was again given a license to roam forward on set pieces and posted more threat in front of opposing goal. With PSG now securing the title and with both Presnel Kimpembe and Sergio Ramos healthy at the moment we could see more of that for the remainder of the season, so Marquinhos could be an option to keep an eye on against some inferior opponents.
