Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are set to face Strasbourg in a Ligue 1 clash at the Parc des Princes. However, the match comes amidst injury concerns and a special 'Pink October' campaign.
Marquinhos Injury Update
PSG's captain, Marquinhos, is expected to be sidelined for a longer period than initially anticipated due to a left quadriceps injury sustained during the match against Marseille on September 22nd. He will miss the Strasbourg game and is also doubtful for the Champions League match against Leverkusen on October 21st. This is a blow for PSG as Marquinhos is a key player in their defence.

PSG's 'Pink October' Initiatives
In support of 'Pink October,' the breast cancer awareness month, PSG has launched several initiatives for the match against Strasbourg. Players will wear a special jersey previously worn by the women's and handball teams. The fan zone will be dedicated to the cause, with pink ribbons and badges distributed. Concession stands will offer 'solidarity menus,' with €0.50 from each purchase donated to Assistance publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP). Jerseys worn by players will be auctioned off to raise funds, and the players will be accompanied by women affected by breast cancer during the pre-match protocol. The Tribune Paris stand will also be adorned in pink, with supporters creating a special tifo for the event.
PSG will be hoping to overcome their injury setbacks and secure a victory against a Strasbourg side currently sitting surprisingly high in the league table. They will also be proud to show their support for the fight against breast cancer.
