Otavio ruled a doubt with thigh injury ahead of Marseille-Paris FC

Paris FC head to Marseille this Sunday with a defensive doubt after the latest setback for Otavio, as reported by L'Équipe. The Brazilian defender was taken off before the end of the Sunday match against Nice (3-0).

Thigh issue after Nice

Per L'Équipe, Otavio was substituted in the 83rd minute for Vincent Marchetti due to a problem in his thigh (“gêne à une cuisse”). The medical checks point to a minor injury, but the club still hasn’t set a timeline for his return.

Rosenior waiting on an update

With the scan results in hand, the expectation is that coach Liam Rosenior will likely have to do without Otavio for Marseille-Paris FC in the 3rd Ligue 1 round. The exact duration of his absence remains unknown.

L'Équipe also notes that this Friday Rosenior will hold his pre-match press conference and provide an update on the squad. That includes the injured players Otavio, Nhoa Sangui and Jonathan Ikoné, and also a return route for Luca Koleosho.

The trip to Marseille will be one more test for the capital side, with Paris FC now dependent on the medical staff’s final assessment before kickoff.
