Messi Set To Miss Montpellier Clash, Races To Be Fit For Man City Blockbuster

PSG star forward Lionel Messi is set to miss the second game in a row as the Argentine superstar has been ruled out of the Parisians Ligue 1 clash with Montpellier.

Messi missed the midweek clash against Metz due to a knee injury sustained earlier.

Life at PSG hasn’t gone according to plan for Messi, failing to score in 3 Ligue 1 matches and a Champions League tie against Club Brugge. PSG are set for a blockbuster clash with Man City in the Champions League and will be hoping Messi is fit for the clash.

Defeating City, who prevailed against PSG 4-1 on aggregate in last season’s Champions League semi-finals, without Messi on Tuesday would be substantially more difficult.

In a medical update released on Friday, PSG said: “Leo Messi started running again today in line with his treatment protocol.”

The club added that Messi will be re-evaluated on Sunday, meaning a potential reunion with Pep Guardiola, with whom he won three LaLiga titles and two Champions League crowns during their time together at Barcelona, remains in doubt.

Messi has played just three games since his stunning departure from Barca and has yet to find the net for PSG.
