Replaced in the 81st minute against Benfica (1-1) on Wednesday in the Champions League, Lionel Messi (35 years old, 13 games and 8 goals in all competitions this season) will rest this weekend. This Friday, Paris Saint-Germain announced that the Argentinian striker is suffering from “calf discomfort”, while specifying that the examinations were “reassuring”. “A new point will be made on Sunday”, adds the club from the capital, thus confirming the Pulga’s withdrawal for Saturday’s match (9 p.m.) against Reims, in the league.
Note that Kylian Mbappé, suffering from “an onset of angina”, trained indoors today. The French international is not forfeited for tomorrow’s match, but Christophe Galtier could start him on the bench.
