Should return against Nantes
Paixao (calf) returned to team training and is expected to be back in the squad for Saturday's trip to Nantes, according to La Minute OM.
Analysis: Paixao had been sidelined for two weeks after sustaining a calf injury during the defeat at Lorient, but his return to collective sessions is right on the timeline that had been set. The Brazilian winger has been Marseille's most dangerous attacking weapon in recent weeks and his comeback is a significant boost for coach Habib Beye heading into the final stretch of the season. If deemed fit to do so, Paixao should regain his starting role against the Canaries.
Set to miss two weeks
Paixao (calf) will miss around two weeks with the injury he sustained during Saturday's defeat against Lorient, according to La Minute OM.
Analysis: Paixao had played through the discomfort until halftime before being substituted Saturday, and the confirmed two-week absence is a big blow for the Olympians since he has been the most significant presence in the attack in recent weeks. Hamed Traore and Emerson are the most likely candidates to pick up extra minutes on the left flank while Paixao works his way back to full fitness.
