IgorPaixão suffered a suspension on his right shoulder after an incident during the match against LeHavre, but early indications indicate that he could remain available for the next duel against Toulouse. The Vélodrome saw the Brazilian winger score a goal against Angers and follow up with a second against LeHavre, but a fall during a duel with a Norman defender caused acute pain in his shoulder. After spending several seconds on the ground, he received treatment from Marseille medical staff and continued the match until added time, showing encouraging resilience.
The next day, a photo posted on Instagram by Paixão's partner showed the player with his arm immobilized in a sling, which raised questions about the condition of his shoulder. According to LaProvence, this immobilization is mainly a preventive measure to relieve the joint during the two days of rest granted to the team. The FootMercato site also noted the concern, without however announcing a prolonged unavailability. Barring an unpleasant surprise during the restart or additional test results, Paixão should be ready for next night's match.
BrunoGenesio, the OM coach, underlined the importance of preserving the dynamic of his winger, who is returning to form after a period of seeking consistency. The two goals scored in two matches show that he could establish himself as a key element in the Marseille attack. OM, who are looking to get out of the red before winter, do not want to lose a player in great shape at a time when they need offensive solidity.
The team's medical authorities will remain vigilant regarding Paixão's pain, but the current trend is to see him return for the match against Toulouse, scheduled for 8:45 p.m. If the winger does not suffer any complications, he will be able to continue to contribute to OM's quest to improve their position in the table. The next few days will be decisive in confirming his state of health and determining whether he will be able to maintain his pace of play in the upcoming engagements.
