The big question mark stood over the Messi-Neymar-Mbappé star trio. Given the unfavorable covid situation in South America, it is uncertain whether Argentine Lionel Messi and Brazilian Neymar will be ready for Saturday’s league match. In addition, the French striker Kylian Mbappé suffered a calf injury during one of the national team matches.
On Tuesday, the club announced that it was a low-grade lesion. The decisive day was to be Thursday. While Mbappé underwent a medical examination in Paris, the South American couple was still in their home countries.
