Christophe Galtier confirmed yesterday in a press conference that Messi He is not in the squad for tonight’s Champions League match against Benfica. Despite the fact that the muscular discomfort he has in his calf is not serious, PSG issued a statement confirming the absence of the Argentine, who is also a serious doubt to face Olympique de Marseille in the French classic next Sunday.
If one thing is clear Leo he will not risk losing the World Cup. Last week he said that Qatar will be his last important date with the albiceleste and a month and a half after it started, he will not expose himself more than necessary. Tests carried out by PSG’s medical services found a small contracture and the player is doing recovery work in the gym, although not exercising with the rest of his teammates.
Messi He did not play last weekend against Reims, he will not play against Benfica tonight as a precaution and without a clear decision, the most likely scenario at this time is that he will miss the match against Marseille. The situation of the Parisian team in the table also helps to avoid having unnecessary risks with a footballer who has the World Cup between his eyebrows. Against Ajaccio, on October 21, Leo it should be 100%.
