Vacation in North Africa After Brazil Duty
The central defender started for Brazil in India on Saturday, playing an hour before being substituted in the Seleção’s fixture. Following that international commitment, head coach Luis Enrique granted the club captain several days of additional rest before upcoming domestic fixtures. Photographic evidence shared on social media by his wife, Carol Cabrino, revealed the family was vacationing at the five-star Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay resort, located on Morocco’s northern coast between Tetouan and M’diq.
Closed-Door Training Sessions at Poissy
The club withheld public announcements on its official channels regarding player attendance for the Tuesday session, while subsequent workouts were scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, alongside Thursday and Friday practices ahead of the weekend schedule.
Luis Enrique has routinely managed his squad’s workload since the start of the campaign, offering extended recovery periods to key internationals who featured heavily over the summer. Marquinhos has already logged six full appearances across eight possible matches for PSG this term, anchoring a backline facing a demanding stretch of fixtures.
