The Argentine striker PSG has not yet returned to training in the general group.
Lionel Messi will not play in the second match of the Champions League group stage against Benfica. According to PSG’s official website, the Argentine striker has not yet recovered from the injury and has not yet started training with the general group.
Note that the 35-year-old striker has already missed one game in the French championship. Without the Argentine, the Parisians could not cope with Reims, who drew 0-0.
Messi has a calf muscle contracture, which is why PSG do not want to risk his health and release him until he is fully recovered.
Remember that in the first match against Benfica in the Champions League, Messi’s goal was to help the French club draw 1:1. In addition, this season the Argentinean has 5 goals and 7 assists in 9 Ligue 1 matches.
