No Lionel Messi on Saturday at the Parc des Princes? We are getting closer. PSG might receive Brest without its superstar on the occasion of the 21st day of Ligue 1. This Thursday, the former Barça once once more trained apart from his teammates. A constant since Thursday, January 6, the date of his return from Argentina following isolation due to a Covid-19 infection.
A final decision should be taken this Friday but, following three weeks without a collective session, it would be normal not to see Messi on the pitch on Saturday night. The goal is to take maximum precautions with the physical condition of the 34-year-old, one month before the start of the knockout stages of the Champions League once morest Real Madrid. The number 30 suffered from symptoms during his Covid and the staff wishes to remain cautious in case of reappearance of symptoms and to avoid an injury.
In addition, the ESPN media announced this Thursday that the winner of the last Copa America will not be traveling with his selection at the end of January to face Chile and Colombia in the framework of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. The choice is up to the player, as his coach Lionel Scaloni told him, and nothing has yet been done.
