Paixao (undisclosed) is dealing with an injury that was first expected to be a diplomatic issue to facilitate his transfer to Marseille, but the new star is aiming for a return after the September international break, according to La Minute OM.

Paixao has been dealing with an injury during pre-season that was initially believed to be a diplomatic issue to facilitate his move to France. However, the injury turned out to be real and serious, as he is now aiming for a return after the September international break for the home match against Lorient at the Velodrome. Until then, Jonathan Rowe is expected to start on the left wing, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also a contender for that spot if the Englishman can't deliver. That said, once Paixao is fully recovered, there is no doubt he will be the starter on the left wing.
