He is back. PSG captain Marquinhos is in the group selected by Luis Enrique to face Stade Rennais at the Parc des Princes this Wednesday evening (9:10 p.m.) in the semi-final of the Coupe de France. He resumed group training last week. Released with an Achilles tendon injury 20 minutes from the end of the L1 match in Nantes (0-2) on February 17, the 29-year-old Brazilian missed his team's last seven matches, including the 8th of Champions League final return to Real Sociedad (1-2).

If Lucas Beraldo (suspended) is absent in the axis of the Parisian defense this Wednesday evening, Marquinhos should not start. The hinge should be composed of Danilo and Hernandez. “Marquinhos and Nuno have recovered, but recovering to train is one thing and being ready to play is another,” Luis Enrique said this Tuesday at a press conference. We don't like to take risks with any player, although it is tempting to have important players like Marquinhos to start with. We think about the health of the players. It is important to take the time necessary to recover properly. »
Also absent in Marseille (2-0) on Sunday, Nuno Mendes also makes his return. Besides Beraldo, the other two absent from Paris are Bradley Barcola (hamstring) and Presnel Kimpembe (convalescent).
