Igor Paixao injured, Angel Gomes replaces him in OM–PSG

The OM–PSG Klassiker brought an early setback for Marseille: Igor Paixao had to leave the pitch this Sunday in the 30th minute after an injury to his right knee (genou droit), according to L'Équipe.

As the same outlet reports, the winger couldn’t continue and was replaced right away by Angel Gomes to take his spot and keep Marseille’s attacking shape.

A replacement after the injury

Paixao’s exit immediately disrupted the hosts’ in-game plans mid-match. Gomes’ entry was a direct solution to maintain attacking threat while the medical staff assessed the extent of the problem.

From here, the key question is how serious Paixao’s right-knee issue is and whether it will keep him out of upcoming Ligue 1 fixtures. For Marseille, any injury in a high-profile match like this one can quickly affect the next rotation decisions.

For now, what’s confirmed is the exact timing and the player switch: 30th minute, with Gomes on, as detailed by L'Équipe.
