Marc Marquez to miss MotoGP's Australian and Malaysian Grand Prix

Marc Marquez is all set to miss the next two Grand Prix tournaments, to be held in Australia and Malaysia after the medical scrutiny that happened on his arrival at his home in Madrid. The seven-time world

champion is suffering from multiple injuries as he is enduring a fracture injury at the base of the coracoid process and a ligament injury to his right shoulder. The latest medical examination and radiology has revealed that his current injuries aren’t related to his previous ones. The tests also confirmed the absence of significant bone displacement. He will undergo the treatment at Ruber International Hospital and has therefore opted for a conservative treatment plan.

The process will require rest and immobilisation of the injured shoulder until it gets fully healed and the fracture is clinically integrated. Marc has said that he is aiming to heal completely and make a comeback at the end of the season. “Fortunately, the injury isn’t severe, but it’s important to respect the recovery timeline. My goal is to be back before the end of the season, but without rushing things beyond the doctors’ recommendations. Both my personal and the team’s main goals have been achieved, so now the priority is to recover properly and return at 100%,” remarked Marc.

Marc Marquez will aim to compete in Grand Prixs in Portugal and Valencia

Marquez will endeavour to compete in Grand Prix in Portugal (November 7 to 9) and Valencia (November 14 to 16). However, the 32-year-old isn’t pressurising himself to be in haste with his recovery to be back in action. “My goal is to be back before the end of the season, but without rushing things beyond the doctors’ recommendations,” remarked the Spaniard.

Marquez’s history with injuries is something daunting. After pulling off four consecutive championships from 2016 to 2019, he broke his arm which required four operations over a couple of years.
