Igor Paixao Injury: Nearing return

Paixao (undisclosed) trained with the ball on Monday and is very close to making his return from injury and seeing his first minutes with Marseille, he posted on Instagram, according to Massilia Zone.

Paixao has been sidelined with an injury since his pre-season with Feyenoord but is now nearing a return with his new club after resuming team training on Monday, working with the ball for the first time. His timeline for a full return remains uncertain, though there is a possibility he features for some minutes in Friday's clash against Lorient ahead of Tuesday's trip to the Bernabeu to face Real Madrid.
